Asian Hornets

Have you seen the Asian Hornets that working there way here, they have got to France so far.

Two inches long and a three inch wingspan, they kill bees nests by waiting outside, catching bees as they leave and cutting there heads off, one hornet can kill 40 bees a minute. So about 20 sit outside and between them they can wipe out a nest of 30,000 bees in a few hours. Then they go inside the nest and ransack it.

The sting is extremely painful, and like having a red hot nail hammered into you. These things are definitely KLOS.

Ive just been reading further. If you attack the nest they will immediately swarm and attack you, thousands of them. Theres just been a case in France last week when a swarm attacked a group of SEVEN people and put them all in hospital. If you find a nest it basically has to be burnt with a flamethrower by a guy in a stingproof suit.

Weren't these in the news a couple of years ago too? they were on their way here then too...maybe they were holidaying in the south of France, but are now looking for permanent residency over here...

They scare the crap out of me. I love bee's and am actually very fearful for them. We must not lose our bee's
