Washington State Discovers First ‘Murder Hornet’ Nest in US

[1] The Story is true

Yes they went looking for one and found one. Now is there really a reason for going after them? Can anyone from Washington confirm they are killing honeybees? Or, is it more fluff to scare. The End Times?

[2] Why? Possibly a DNA altered Bio Weapon? Can you imagine the possibility?

[3] When I lived in New York State we had those things in our yard almost 15 years ago. They would go after the pear and apple tress that we had in our back yard. They would go into the fruit from the bottom and eat the entire fruit and leave the skin intact on the tree. I finally bought a 20' aerosol can of wasp and hornet killer and began taking them out. It took several years and I surmised I killed around 60 of them. I drove one to the Cornell University Agricultural Extension Office for identification and they told me its a Asian or Japanese Giant Hornet.

Washington state discovers first 'murder hornet' nest in US

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Scientists in Washington state have discovered the first nest of so-called murder hornets in the United States and plan to wipe it out Saturday to protect native honeybees, officials said. Workers with the state Agriculture Department spent weeks searching, trapping and using dental floss to tie tracking devices to Asian giant hornets, which can deliver painful stings to people and spit venom but are the biggest threat to honeybees that farmers depend on to pollinate crops. “Ladies and gentlemen, we did it,” agency spokeswoman Karla Salp said at a virtual briefing. Bad weather delayed plans Friday to destroy the nest found in Blaine, a city north of Seattle.

I have never seen them attack honey bees nor have I ever seen them chase down humans or my dog. Great story just before the elections.

Or, has another bad actor country released another Bio Weapon?

Right?

If the US thinks it can keep importing everything from China to their country without bringing a few "undesirables" along for the ride...well...they are notably wrong. This has been taking place for decades now, with the "global" economy wrecking the ecosystems and natural habitats of every continent in the name of "profits".

Doesn't surprise me whatsoever. These hornets are not native to the US and, just like the Emerald Ash-Borer, they will hurt the flora or severely impact it. Its not going to stop any time soon.

They can devastate a bee nest when they feel like carrying off the larvae for a tasty treat. Some strains of bee have a defense against them by balling over the top of them and generating enough collective heat to kill them that way. But the hornets basically just scissor off bee heads with their jaws one on one otherwise.

Now, an Africanized colony v. Murder hornets might be interesting, but I digress.

You sure your fruity wasps were not european wasps? They are fairly large and similar except they have a redish color on the head.

I must say these guys are supersized. I can also believe that if possible, a country altering their DNA and using them as a bio weapon to kill our honeybees.

We already had this discussion.

Everyone can make a mistake. Do you still have a sample to share?

Fake news.

Hoax. Murder hornets are just regular hornets.

Another hoax by the left

Nah, that's just what they do. No altering necessary. It's why Asian honeybees know how to deal with them.



Tampering with the DNA would have made it impossible for the bees to cope.

Yes, everyone knows the Disney/NBA jointly funded Wuhan lab has modified the DNA of the hornets to allow them to inject Covid into human targets as well.

Nah. They definitely exist, even in the US, but can be misidentified.

Coyote Peterson had an episode on this in West Virginia.

And I forgive your snarkyness, waterglass, as I am pretty confident if Cornell or any respectable etymology department at any university became aware of an invasive species in the US they would actually do something other than tell you its an invasive species and send you on your way.

Wow, thanks for linking me to a university website. Case closed. Cornell has a website. You want to make personal attacks now though? Im game if mods will allow it. Bring it loser. The only killer bees in the US 15 years ago were made by bones bearings and sat in my skateboard. Bring proof of you meeting at Cornell and their analysis.

I think that was the plot for Plague Dogs. The Disney film you were never meant to see.

Masons get to see all the Disney films, who do you think puts the subliminal messages in them to corrupt your children?

Murder Hornets from China, Covid from China. . . .the same time "Mulan" came out from China.

Disney has some 'splaining to do.
