A terrifying new plague has reportedly now been identified in the US, and it has nothing to do with the Coronavirus.
The giant Asian ‘murder hornet’ has now reportedly been spotted in the United States. The massive hornets are almost two inches long are extremely aggressive, and have a venomous sting that can sometimes be lethal to humans. As The New York Post reports:
The deadly meat-eating Asian giant hornet, which has been known to kill up to 50 people a year in Japan, recently surfaced for the first time in the USin Washington state — and New York City beekeepers say there is no way it won’t make its way here, too.
“I told the NYPD back in 2012 … ‘Your problem is not the bees. This [the murder hornet] is your problem,’” recalled retired Police Department beekeeper Anthony “Tony Bees” Planakis.
“I showed them a picture of it, and they go, ‘What the hell is that?’ ” Planakis said. “I go, ‘That is an Asian hornet. My [beekeeper’s] suit is useless against that thing.’ ”
Asked if the monstrous insects are dangerous to humans, Planakis added, “Absolutely. Oh, my God.”
As if 2020 weren’t bad enough already, now we have ‘murder hornets’ to worry about. https://t.co/GPYyRqQb13 pic.twitter.com/DRLqaYFzcb

Honey bees pollinate our food plants. This is no chicken little thing. This is more like a locust thing. These insects are aggressive and as lethal as African bees if there is enough of them to swarm.
They can be dangerous and will kill normal bee hives by killing off the queen and any queen larvae. What is not mentioned in this article is that normal bees have evolved a counter offensive. The workers will cover the intruder and beat their wings. This action raises the temperature and kills the invaders. Worker bees will sacrifice themselves to protect the queen and the hive. The killer hornets are incapable of protecting themselves from increases in temperature.
Actually, it is only the JAPANESE honeybee that has this specific counterattack. All the other species, INCLUDING the so-called Africanized ones are vulnerable.
Oh, I think we should quarantine ourselves for the next 25 years. If we find ourselves outside we might get bit. Chicken little, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!
Just as with the snakes in Florida, a great many invasive specie have invaded the USA. Included are fish, rats, snakes, insects and more. Plants are also destructive. Bamboo, kudzu, and more. The invasion has been going on since at least the Pilgrims who brought dandelions with them because they wanted a touch of “home” and the dandelions were hardy enough to survive, as well as having benefits of food, beauty, drink, etc.
The majority of invasive specie arrive as ballast water in ships which gets emptied in ports.
