They aren't murder hornets, they're DACA hornets, they didn't ask to come here. And they kill bad bugs as well as bees.

Anyway, there are hornet things in AZ bigger and badder.

The killer bees were a big problem in AZ for awhile, horrific stories. But they seen to have assimilated.

How did you do it AZ?

Did you separate the babies from the mommas? Did you cage all the baby hornets? It's good that they assimilated. I hear the mommy hornets don't want them back anyway.
