New Dangerous Species of ‘Murder Hornet’ Invades the U.S.: The Deadly Asian Giant Hornet Kills 50 People Per Year and Decimates Entire Beehives in Just Hours

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get worse…

Asian giant hornets have been spotted in the United States and Canada for the first time, sparking panic among members of the scientific community.

The large insects, nicknamed ‘murder hornets’, are native to temperate and tropical climates in East Asia, where they kill around 50 people are year.

But since November 2019, there have been several sightings of the hornets on the west coast of North America. It’s unclear how they arrived.

The new invasive species is 1.5-2 inches long, has a large yellow scary head, and a powerful sting.

The sensationalism. fear-mongering and general panic surrounding those Asian giant hornets, aka "murder hornets," detected last year in British Columbia and Washington state, are enough to curdle both the blood and the brain.
First there were the Afrianized honey bees, which sensationalists called "the killer bees."

Don't even mention "assassin flies" or "bullet ants" or "deathwatch beetles."

Now there are the Asian giant hornets (AGH), Vespa mandarinia, which sensationalists have dubbed "murder hornets."

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Yes we do. And they are telling us not to kill them if we see one but instead call a 1-800 number to report it. BS, I'm killing it and they are welcome to come look at the body. If they take too long I can draw a chalk line around it.

Following it back to the hive might work better. It'd take the big shop vac to clean them out.

(I eliminated three colonies of ground burrowing wasps with a shop vac by setting the pipe by the entrance and leaving the shop vac running for a few hours....)

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
