Yappi · May 2, 2020

Enough already.

Now, deadly hornets from Asia that measure up to 2 inches long have been found for the first time in the US — and researchers are worried they’re colonizing.

The real issue is how they can wipe out bee colonies. The bee population was already dwindling, but it will be even worse if these fkers start to grow in mass.

Isn't it racist to name something after where it came from?

A friend who has honey bee hives shared this:

"P.S. For the love of all things holy, can we retire the “murder hornet” name? It’s so stupid and nobody needs any extra inspiration to panic right now."

It's not official until President Trump mentions it during a presser, and a reporter decides to frame the story.

In all seriousness the regular Japanese Bees have a defense mechanism for the hornet which includes letting it into the hive and then surrounding it essentially suffocating the hornet with CO2.

Video shows that 'Murder Hornets' can be cooked alive by a vibrating sphere of Japanese bees

"Murder Hornets" have begun to colonize the United States, but a National Geographic video shows one being cooked alive by a group of Japanese bees.

Pretty soon the world will look like Asia which seems to have the most resilient species.
