RFK Jr. will find a way to bring it back.
By using his own brain as a incubator
Maybe he ate them all.
I could see him mounting one to his car roof rack to get it home to cook it up.
The FBI has opened a hotline for any information on the perpetrator. Meanwhile, UnitedHornets has said that it is actively looking for a replacement.
Bring them back. Release them into the HVAC systems of Healthcare Insurance HQs.
And the senate
And a certain expensive building in Florida....
They lowered it to 'Manslaughter Hornet'.
And hired them onto the police forces of neighboring jurisdictions
If they killed a CEO, they would be Terrorist Hornets
And if they were CEOs, they’d be social murder hornets
Full marks but for the alliteration bonus point, we would have accepted 'Homicide Hornet'.
Manslaughter hornets are yellow with black stripes.
God yes
That's just what the hornets want you to think.

Holy shit! I did not expect them to ever be completely eradicated, let alone this quickly.
Now do varroa mites please.
This is Biden's America
Thanks O'Biden
Then why is that chee-to threatening newspapers and negotiating bad ceasefire deals?
Doubtful.
In Europe, researchers recently expressed alarm after discovering a related hornet, the southern giant hornet, in northern Spain.
Some other Asian hornet also established itself in Europe in the past decade.
According to Darrouzet, the species used to spread 60–80 km annually in France. He claims that, although control campaigns have slowed this pace, the hornet is still making leaps and bounds, sometimes due to human transport.
‘That's probably how they crossed the Pyrenees into Spain, ended up in England and recently in Hungary. We must have transported it,’ Darrouzet said.
Is it too late to get rid of Asian hornets?
There are places where Asian hornet populations have successfully disappeared, such as Mallorca in 2020. But according to Darrouzet, ‘the hornet's playground is now too large in Europe’ and the prospects for eradication are virtually nil.
‘If we are effective, we can reduce the population to a socially acceptable level and limit its impact on agriculture, beekeeping, human health and biodiversity,’ says the researcher, who is working on a new trapping system.
goes looking for name
That was apparently Vespa velutina.

Looks like it just showed up in the US too:
In August 2023, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, in coordination with the United States Department of Agriculture Plant & Animal Health Inspection Service and the University of Georgia, confirmed the presence of a yellow-legged hornet near Savannah, Ga. This is the first time a live specimen of this species has been detected in the United States.[19] This was followed by the first report of the species from South Carolina in November 2023, and the discovery of nests in 2024.[20][21]
Yay.
Mmhmm. This is ‘Murica: The Land of Opportunity (TM). With the right lawyers, I’m sure those hornet thugs will be back out on the streets in no time.
East side represent! ✌️
Oh nice. Is there still hope for preventing that in Europe?
