(at around 1h 25 mins) When Caesar Flickerman points out the tracker jacker hive Katniss plans to cut down, Claudius Templesmith says, "Oh... those things are very lethal." Caesar continues immediately with, "Very. For those of you who don't know, tracker jackers are genetically engineered wasps, whose venom causes searing pain, powerful hallucinations, and in extreme cases, death." However, "very lethal" and "in extreme cases [can cause] death" are opposing statements. We see Katniss get stung several times when she cuts down the hive, but when Peeta finds her he tells her run (and she survives with no lasting effects); of the 5 people the hive falls on, only one dies after being unable to escape the swarm. Based on the evidence, it seems both Claudius and Caesar might have spoken incorrectly, with the tracker jackers being able to kill the way a swarm of bees, wasps or ants can kill in extreme cases.
