Asian Giant Hornet Invasion Threatens Honey Bees in Pacific Northwest - The New York Times
Wait, wait, deep breath..
Are you suggesting that something in the New York Times should be considered anything authoritative or even remotely reliable? Keep that up and you're going to lose your street cred.

LOL Just one of the first that popped up on google, there's lots more. Even the NYT would find it hard to politically spin a story about Asian hornets

I give you points for having a sense of humor!

I'm waiting for the "Meteor heading for earth. Worldwide destruction looms" headline. 2020: the year disaster descended.

The U.S. Sun also has a substantial focus on tabloid fodder out of the U.K.,

In that case will speed up production of my new super ray gun that is more or less guaranteed to kill these varmints.

If you google "giant Asian hornets invade USA" there are currently 3,980,000 results. They are not all from tabloids like The Sun. I saw this particular story and thought my god that's the most apochryphal headline I have ever seen. Villagers need not worry about getting stung by a giant hornet unless maybe their next door neighbor keeps honeybee hives in the back yard.

If you find this thread triggering there are many others here about updating your will, health directives, death rate on ventilators etc etc which will cheer you right up.

Are they ...?..
 
Are they Chinese ones?

And someone help me I’m going crazy sitting around posting. I’m wasting my life.

This is an attack on America! The Chinese is being directed by the Deep State and Soros to infiltrate our Great Nation by sending these weapons of mass Destruction our way!

1. It was incredibly painful for 12 to 14 hours.
2. One sting Killer is False.
Did you get the operative word.....Can kill with one sting to those who are "allergic":boxing2::boxing2::boxing2::boxing2:

Old news. I had these up north 5 years ago. Exterminator suited up and killed them. OTC wasp spray didn't phase them.

I find this thread triggering.

I wonder about a lot of things.

I am not going to get myself in trouble.

I am going to kick the dog.

We don't have a dog.

Can anyone do anything about relief from this relentless onslaught?

Just wondering, what ever happened to the horror stories of African killer bees coming up from South America?
( Sorry about stirring the pot. )
