The Asian giant hornet, the world's largest at 2 inches, can decimate entire hives of honeybees and deliver a painful sting to humans.

BLAINE, Wash. — Washington state agriculture workers have trapped their first Asian giant hornet, and have until mid-September to destroy nests before mating season begins.

The Asian giant hornet, the world's largest at 2 inches, can decimate entire hives of honeybees and deliver a painful sting to humans. Farmers in the northwest depend on those honey bees to pollinate many crops such as apples, blueberries and cherries. The recently-trapped hornet in Washington is the first found in a trap rather than in the environment as the state's five previous confirmed sightings were.

NOT THE HONEYBEES 🥺😭

I hope it murders me.

People will try and cultivate anything they can and bring it with them to another country.. My neighbor wants my rose bulb and I mentioned you could just buy a rose bulb from a garden store but some people don’t know about those kind of things..

This things getting closer and closer to home they need to be doing a lot fuckin more then trapping them

Has anyone considered that murder hornet DNA may contain the cure for the virus? O know it's probably less than a .00000000001% chance, but hey... Just throwin' it out there.

Thank you for not calling them murder hornets and not invoking fear and panic.

And the worst part is, we don't have the type of honeybees that deal with these guys on the regular. Japanese honeybees fend these hornets off by covering them and overheating their bodies.

It is real big problem if they kill honeybees.

You can’t say Asian hornet! That’s racist! 🙄🙄🙄

I’m told that 2 inches doesn’t do much

Ohh lord. Not Satan's solider again. I thought we'd sent them back to hell.

Is that a tongue coming out of its mouth? Yikes!

You can’t call it an “Asian giant hornet”, I think Hornet19 may be more appropriate 🤣🤣

MtinaMorgan Putin sent them, didn't he!

growingaway This is old news. Where have you been?

At this point 2020 has been the worst year and this doesn't surprise me. I'm waiting for a report BREAKING NEWS Aliens are now approaching earth😒😝 or have landed along w- our PO 💩 POTUS has been snatched up by them too.😂 2021 can't come fast enough!

Please don’t tell me where it came from🙄

I thought a time traveler erased the murder hornet. Need to re-do my 2020 bingo board. Hang tight and good luck!

A defensive ball of Japanese honey bees (Apis cerana japonica) in which two hornets (Vespa simillima xanthoptera) are engulfed, incapacitated, heated and eventually killed...

Not only a painful but possibly deadly sting.

Why are you calling it Asian? Can you prove hornets flew all the way to North America? Do Asians call mosquitoes “American mosquitoes”? 🤔🤔🤔 This is how racism spreads

Food supply already at risk. And now this.... SaveThePollinatorBees

They're shipping them here with the seeds you guys!

what would be the natural / nature anti hornet a prying mantes

Back to this again?

Is this the infamous 'murder hornet'?

that looks scary

Always asian

They were called Asian Murder hornets at least that's what the media and news outlets called them before they considered that to be racist 🙄

Maybe Trump will blame China...

Avoid Asian Giant Hornet and vote by mail.

China really taking this world domination thing too seriously
