These hornets can kill off our most vital insect, the Honey Bee. Honey Bees pollinate our plants and crops, and if they were to disappear we could lose our food. This type of hornet is also very harmful because of its very painful and venomous sting. One sting can make your entire arm swell, and pain and dizziness can start immediately after the sting.In fact six people have died from Asian Hornet attacks in France. Another threat they have is that their nests can rapidly spread. In Europe, the bees started in France, and they have made there way to places in Italy, Switzerland, and Spain. We don't want these hornets to spread to other states.]]> 2020-05-13 20:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesemi000/qljytlaxwkh0udb/wish/571180235 jonesemi000 https://padlet.com/jonesemi000/qljytlaxwkh0udb/wish/571214031 2020-05-13 20:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesemi000/qljytlaxwkh0udb/wish/571214031 jonesemi000 https://padlet.com/jonesemi000/qljytlaxwkh0udb/wish/571215890 2020-05-13 20:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesemi000/qljytlaxwkh0udb/wish/571215890 jonesemi000 https://padlet.com/jonesemi000/qljytlaxwkh0udb/wish/571218018 2020-05-13 20:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesemi000/qljytlaxwkh0udb/wish/571218018 How dangerous are the Giant Asian Hornets to Humans? jonesemi000 https://padlet.com/jonesemi000/qljytlaxwkh0udb/wish/571271836 Their stings can be quite harmful.
