Asian giant hornets, which some researchers refer to as “murder hornets” according to the New York Times, had never been seen in the U.S. until December, when the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) verified four sightings of the hornets near Blaine and Bellingham, Wash. Canada also reported sightings of the insects in British Columbia the fall of 2019, per the WSDA.
Asian giant hornets are the largest species of hornet in the world. They attack and destroy honeybee hives, entering a “slaughter phase” where they literally decapitate bees and take the hive as their own, using the thoraxes from the dead bees to feed their young, according to the WSDA. Just a few hornets can decimate a honey bee hive in a number of hours.
Their stingers are longer than a honey bee’s, more toxic and they can sting multiple times. Multiple stings can also kill a human even if they’re not allergic, according to the WSU release. The New York Times reports reports that in Japan, the hornets have been known to kill up to 50 people a year.
2020 keeps delivering. :goty

Africanized bees vs Murder Hornets in a steel cage match. Put that shit on ESPN, you cowards.

Do they know how they got over? Some lab lost them? Someone (bizarrely) kept them as pets and let them loose?
Officials don’t know how the insects got into the U.S., but they’re bracing for the hornets to start emerging soon, as they become active in April,

Will absolutely wail on these fuckers with a badminton racket, not in my woods

I will simply explain social distancing to the wasps after which they will voluntarily buzz around 6 feet away from me.
-
Is there any way we can tag and bag these fuckers and exterminate them hive-and-all?
Honeybees are friends and an enemy of them is an enemy of mine.

Been reading a bit about this and they are absolutely trying to. Setting traps to trace back to hives. Eliminated at least one hive on Vancouver Island. Poor dude doing it got stung through his bee suit and layers of sweat pants lol sounds brutal might need to rethink my strat
Sounds like finding hives might not be easy but they’ve got a few ideas and are coordinating with experts in Japan

remember, they can’t legally sting you without your consent

I have encountered these here in Japan up in the mountains. They are about as big as my thumb. A wasp that is as big around as my thumb. They are orange and black and very confrontational. If you see one, I suggest you nope out.

Is this the same thing?
