When some people sang “Old Long Day” more than eight months ago, many Americans couldn’t wait to get rid of the dust of 2020.
To say the least, this is not a complete rest.
Mask mission? COVID confusion? They are travelling passengers This Travel around the sun, and also.
And now, another component of the worst year of the century has rebounded.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Killer Hornet to the stage again.
Almost quoted a song by Skinny Liz, Bee back to the city (Fact Checker: The Hornets are not bees).
In Washington State, officials confirmed that this winged stinger was discovered for the first time this year.
Just below the Canadian border, someone photographed the moment the arthropod assassin attacked the wasp nest.
“This report was submitted by a Whatcom County resident on August 11,” Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) Press release confirm.
WSDA entomologists reviewed and confirmed the report as an Asian giant hornet on August 12. The report includes a photo of an Asian giant hornet attacking a paper hive in a rural area east of Bryan, about 2 miles from where WSDA wiped out the first Asian hornet. Last October, the giant hornet’s nest in the United States.
We are repeating:
“This bumblebee exhibited the same behavior we saw last year-attacking the paper hive,” [a scientist] Say.

It happened in the same corner of this country:
Invasive species-hunting bees, whose stings can kill a person-were wiped out by another cunning predator: humans.
On October 21st, two two-inch-long terrorists were trapped in the Pacific Northwest.
Two more were caught the next day.
The Washington State Department of Agriculture used jam to distract at least one person, and one transmitter was connected with dental floss. A total of three harmful insects were traced.
The workers found a honeycomb the size of a basketball.
WSDA staff vacuumed about 200 wasps. If necessary, the workers are ready to remove the entire tree.
Sven-Erik Spichiger, an entomologist at the Ministry of Agriculture, proposed-like a great 80s movie-“We extract them alive. We will kill them.”
But they did not kill them all.
So-like the inevitable 80s sequel-the monster is among us.
Before the end of 21 years, how many small animals might return?

Is this all true, or are we trapped in the movie?

Apparently, the murdered bumblebee was on deck.
Even so, our hero started to work again.
From WSDA:
“This bumblebee exhibited the same behavior we saw last year—attacking paper honeycombs,” said Sven Spichiger, a management entomologist at WSDA. “If you have paper wasp nests in your house and live in the area, please pay close attention to them and report any Asian hornets you see. Also pay attention to the direction they fly.”
“In response to this detection,” the department relayed, “WSDA will set up live traps in the area to try to catch live bumblebees, tag them, and then track them back to their nests. The British Columbia government will also use Canada has set up more traps because the inspection is about half a mile away from the US/Canada border.”
Will there be more Spalding-sized lairs?
Only time will give the answer.
In 2019, you are more like a sweetheart than we know.
Nevertheless, I still retain a photo from last year-called it a symbol of hope.
this is us…
At least, I hope so…
