Well, 2020 just keeps getting more and more apocalyptical !
What's next, a CATS sequel ?

Tracking the ‘Murder Hornet’: A Deadly Pest Has Reached North America
Sightings of the Asian giant hornet have prompted fears that the vicious insect could establish itself in the United States and devastate bee populations.

BLAINE, Wash. — In his decades of beekeeping, Ted McFall had never seen anything like it.
As he pulled his truck up to check on a group of hives near Custer, Wash., in November, he could spot from the window a mess of bee carcasses on the ground. As he looked closer, he saw a pile of dead members of the colony in front of a hive and more carnage inside — thousands and thousands of bees with their heads torn from their bodies and no sign of a culprit.
“I couldn’t wrap my head around what could have done that,” Mr. McFall said.
Only later did he come to suspect that the killer was what some researchers simply call the “murder hornet.”

A lot of baloney floating around about these things....like they can kill you with one sting. They're a yellowjacket on steroids but not nearly as dangerous as Africanized honey bees. I've been in the pest control business and would tell you although hornets/wasps can be a bitch, nothing attacks with numbers, distances, and the ferocity of Killer Bees.

The locals in Wuhan call it the Covid Hornet, but who's counting.

Here in France, in summer, we have tiger mosquitoes and in addition will they be able to carry the coronavirus? The bite of a tiger mosquito can also transmit viruses.

More fear mongering bullshit.

Do the Communist Chinese eat these things? If so another reason to bomb China

This is a job for John Goodman.

Better hope that these hornets are the real hornets.

DARPA's Wild Kingdom Weaponized bees, robotic rats, sleepless soldiers; does Mother Nature stand a chance in the face of the Pentagon's new science?

Did you say Asian hornet?
Great. Another eastern invasive species thing we have to rename because it's racist.

^^^^ This:

Hopefully they will ONLY target Vegans:

Lets take a murder hornet, expose it to the rona, then bury it in the pet cemetary

 

[DigitalDrifter]

More fear mongering bullshit.

Depends on how established they become. Could be really bad news for honey bees, which are already having trouble sustaining their population. More great news from the wonderful continent of Asia.

I'm uh pretty sure Asia is a continent.

Maybe we will get lucky, and the murder hornets will eat the Asian Beetles that have already infected the US.
