Sightings of the Asian giant hornet have prompted fears that the vicious insect could establish itself in the United States and devastate bee populations.“In my decades of beekeeping, I had never seen anything like it”. Said, Ted McFall.As he pulled his truck up to check on a group of hives near Custer, Wash. In November, he could spot from the window a mess of bee carcasses on the ground. kgarciavil2 https://padlet.com/kgarciavil2/ppmgtxc57s5gxbum/wish/588024133 2020-05-21 23:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarciavil2/ppmgtxc57s5gxbum/wish/588024133 As he looked closer, he saw a pile of dead members of the colony in front of a hive and more carnage inside — thousands and thousands of bees with their heads torn from their bodies and no sign of a culprit.“I couldn’t wrap my head around what could have done that,” Mr. McFall said. Only later did he come to suspect that the killer was what some researchers simply call the “murder hornet.” kgarciavil2 https://padlet.com/kgarciavil2/ppmgtxc57s5gxbum/wish/588024499 2020-05-21 23:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarciavil2/ppmgtxc57s5gxbum/wish/588024499 With queens that can grow to two inches long, Asian giant hornets can use mandibles shaped like spiked shark fins to wipe out a honeybee hive in a matter of hours, decapitating the bees and flying away with the thoraxes to feed their young. For larger targets, the hornet’s potent venom and stinger — long enough to puncture a beekeeping suit — make for an excruciating combination that victims have likened to hot metal driving into their skin.In Japan, the hornets kill up to 50 people a year. Now, for the first time, they have arrived in the United States. kgarciavil2 https://padlet.com/kgarciavil2/ppmgtxc57s5gxbum/wish/588025638 2020-05-21 23:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kgarciavil2/ppmgtxc57s5gxbum/wish/588025638
