Killer hornets are the latest issue we have to deal with during the coronavirus pandemic.
A deadly species of hornets from across the world has landed in our own backyard — and the timing couldn’t be worse with the coronavirus pandemic in full swing.
An epidemiologist named Chris Looney gave a detailed report to the NYT this weekend, outlining the first sightings of these giant Asian «murder» hornets here in North America — first spotted in Washington state this past fall — and the joint effort to eradicate them before they wipe out our bee population, not mention any human casualties along the way.
The report says the giant Asian hornets tear up entire bee colonies by decapitating their heads with their jaws and feeding the thoraxes to their young.
