The Asian giant hornet nest was destroyed Wednesday near Blaine, just south of the Canadian border, according to the Washington State Department of Agriculture.

The nest was found in the base of a dead alder tree about two miles from where the first-ever murder hornet nest was found in the US last October.

Officials vacuumed 113 live hornets from the nest and captured 67 others in the vicinity.

The term "Nest" "Hive" does imply more than one bee..  What idiot felt the need to ad "Hundreds" when everyone knows how bees work.

Hundreds, to distinguish from dozens or thousands or tens of thousands...

Everyone may know how bees work, but hornets are not bees. They are a type of wasp and their nests can also be small. Last week I opened the door of my son's truck he left with us and there was a red wasp nest in the door pillar. Maybe only 20 wasps or so.

If there are 113 wasps in a nest, I can say with 99% certainty that they are probably nesting in 10 other areas within 10 miles
