How does the European honeybee deal with an enemy four times its size?

The European honeybee was deliberately imported to Japan about 120 years ago. But there it faces a fierce enemy, the giant Japanese hornet. This enemy is 3 times the size and 20 times the weight of a worker bee and is able to kill up to 40 bees a minute with its powerful jaws. The hornets mark the hive with a scent (pheromone) and once the reinforcements arrive, the slaughter begins. Attempts on the part of bees to sting this enemy end in failure and death.
But another strategy does work. “When Japanese honeybees detect hornet pheromone, about 100 worker bees flock to the nest entrance. As the hornets approach, the bees retreat back into the nest, drawing the hornets inside, where over a thousand worker bees are lying in ambush. About 500 of them quickly engulf one of the invaders in a dense ball. Vibrating wing muscles inside their thoraxes, the bees raise their body temperature, and the temperature inside the bee ball quickly rises to 116 degrees. Bees tolerate temperatures of up to 122 degrees, but hornets perish at 114. After baking for about 15 minutes, the hornet dies. If the bees (which don’t eat the hornets) succeed in killing the first ‘recruiter’ hornets, they stave off a swarming attack. If they fail, the bees abandon their nest and stream off to build a new one.”*
Does this sound like a God-designed method of protection or lucky chance? It seems obvious the hand of the Creator is in it!
