#2 Funny how the African Killer Bees never arrived. Now we have trouble from Asia the deadly bees are coming from Asia as well. Its like the media has zero imagination when they come up with their scare stories.

#3 killer bees from the south border, they have been found from Tx to Calif within a few hundred miles of the border w Mexico

Murder Hornets have been found in the NW near the border w Canada.

So basically, it is a just about time for a made for TV Murder Hornet vs Killer Bee movie.

#6 Sorry, links.

We have had the African Killer Bees in Minnesota but they don't overwinter well. As far as our bee breeds. We could attempt to breed in this behavior but it would take decades. We have yet to breed a fully consistant varroa destructor mite hygienic Queens.

#7 It took almost 80 years for Brother Adam, the Benedictine Monk at Buckfast Abbey to come up with his bees.

If these yellows do get to be a problem I'll be putting on hive entrance excluders. There is no way those large hornets could fit through.

I'm almost more concerned about the number of Japanese that have been killed by these bastards. And there stingers have no problem penetrating our bee gear. Ouch!
