Murder hornets vacuumed from Washington hive by space-suited bug pros

Space-suited bug specialists successfully vacuumed up a nest of so-called “murder hornets” in Washington state on Saturday, capping a months-long effort to swat back the invasive, bee-slaughtering pest.

The murder hornets — named for their ability to decimate a hive of bees in a matter of hours — first appeared near Blaine in Washington state in December, 2019. They have destroyed six or seven hives in the area.

The species is normally found in China and other Asian countries, where their stings kill about a dozen people a year. It’s unknown how they got to North America.

Thanks China, for yet another cleanup expense!

  1. Funny how everything that comes from China wants to kill you or take over!!! From these hornets that kill off bee’s and can harm you, all the way to the Tiger Mosquito; Which too came from china in a box and now I personally have never seen again our old brown looking mosquitos… It is the same thing with oysters too, My Uncle runs a research facility trying to save our bay, (Which is impossible, but I give him credit for at least trying) that now some how China version of oysters are over here invading our local waterways… Seems as if all of these things are bilabial or at best engineered…

  2. What I do not understand is, why hasn’t China been sued? Why are we still paying “debt” we owe them? They are the cause of this scamdemic
