    When I was growing up in central North Carolina we would occasionally see what my dad called "Japanese Hornets" that were as large as my now adult thumb. Never saw a nest or more than one at a time.

    Most likely a Cicada Killer Wasp Sphecius speciosus - Wikipedia They pretty good sized and pretty much solo acts.

    This story is sensationalism designed to cover up the fact that the massive plot to release the Bill Gates Corona vaccine is just about to be unleashed on us all. Don't look behind the curtain.

    Japanese honeybees have evolved an ambush defense against these hornets. When a hornet scout finds a honeybee hive, the honeybees lure her in, then collectively pounce on the hornet, beating their wings as much as they can. This flurry attack raises the temperature around the hornet, eventually killing her and a few of the honeybees closest to her. The hive will remain undiscovered to the hornet colony and live to see another day.

    This adaptation is not seen in European honeybees, which are common domesticated pollinators used in our agriculture systems. So, if this hornet becomes a pest, we might have to figure out a way to get them to behave more like a Japanese honeybee through some sort of genetic modification.

    Video shows that 'Murder Hornets' can be cooked alive by a vibrating sphere of Japanese bees
