    @@sammehlberg6664 Oh shut up. Wasps are a very important part of the ecosystem. They are more important than you, they contribute more to the local environment than you do. So just stop being a whiny little 🐕 and deal with some stings that hardly even hurt (I'm assuming you hate wasps because you got stung once or twice, boo hoo, so tragic, how did you survive such a serious injury? Lmao) Don't try to introduce new species into an area, humans have done that in the past and it didn't go well. If what you want to buy was meant to live where you do, then they would have existed there in the first place.

    Have you seen them in person? Where? Im Japanese living in Japan and these aren’t impressive. These are deadly. People die here every year from this creature. If you have seen them in person you would know all you would see is a brown bird like creature with very loud buzzing. It’s so loud you can’t talk to others or hear what they say. I wish westerners stop calling these hornets. These are called sparrow bees and a giant one is called Japanese giant sparrow bees. The reason is from 10 m a way it looks like a flying sparrow. Japanese name is literally スズメばち 雀蜂, Suzume Bachi where Suzume is sparrow and Bachi is derived of hachi meaning bees. I came to know westerners are calling these killer hornets. These aren’t called killer hornets in Japan. I mean it has a place in the ecosystem in Japan. They consume large amount of pests that are damaging to forests and even crops. Only reason these should be eliminated is to protect Japanese bees in Japan as they’re becoming extinct now. And these sparrow bees especially giant ones destroy the beehives of Japanese bees.

    According by Wikipedia that’s not true. “Since 2001, the yearly human death toll caused by stings of bees, wasps and hornets in Japan has been ranging between 12 and 26.[65] Since this number also includes deaths caused by bees, wasps, and other hornet species, the number of deaths caused by Asian giant hornets is likely to be much lower.”

    Though Africanized honey bees display certain behavioral traits that make them less than desirable for commercial beekeeping, excessive defensiveness and swarming foremost, they have now become the dominant type of honey bee for beekeeping in Central and South America due to their genetic dominance as well as ability to out-compete their European counterpart, with some beekeepers asserting that they are superior honey producers and pollinators. Africanized honey bees, as opposed to other Western bee types: Tend to swarm more frequently and go farther than other types of honey bees. Are more likely to migrate as part of a seasonal response to lowered food supply. Are more likely to "abscond"-the entire colony leaves the hive and relocates-in response to stress. Have greater defensiveness when in a resting swarm, compared to other honey bee types. Live more often in ground cavities than the European types. Guard the hive aggressively, with a larger alarm zone around the hive. Have a higher proportion of "guard" bees within the hive. Deploy in greater numbers for defense and pursue perceived threats over much longer distances from the hive. Cannot survive extended periods of forage deprivation, preventing introduction into areas with harsh winters or extremely dry late summers. Live in dramatically higher population densities.
