Natural World: Buddha, Bees and The Giant Hornet Queen
It's springtime on Honshu Island, and a queen stirs from hibernation. She alone has the ability to create an empire of winged killers, one that will last all summer long. She is a Japanese giant hornet: the largest wasp on the planet. Armed with razor-sharp jaws, thick armour plating, and a lethal half-inch stinger, these hornets have but one mission: to spread their majesty's reign to the whole countryside. Is there nothing that can stop this murderous horde? Or will the giant monsters destroy all who stand in their way, man and insect alike?

Many bees & wasps are evolved to be ground dwellers. They're not evolved to survive at all in these above ground locations. It's not a choice they make. Nature chose for them. I don't know enough about these hornets to say what they're evolved for.

Since it's a Giant Japanese Hornet, it's full name is actually 大雀蜂 [Ōsuzumebachi], 大 [Ō] meaning "large/giant".

@Frankie Bleddyn the Bachi part of its name is actually 蜂 [Hachi] which means bee/wasp/hornet. The konsonant is shifted from a Ha to a Ba, which happens a lot in Japanese when words are combined. I think what you're referring to is perhaps the onomatopoeia "Bachin", or similar ones, which refer to the sound of a slam/whack associated with a hammer? Mallet or Hammer is written differently.

In reading about nesting habits of these newly arrived hornets to N America, they are either in the ground or inside of a hole in a tree. If one is randomly going around torching all of the obvious hornets nests, you are killing native beneficial species. Haven't our native biomes been decimated enough by human ignorance, fear, and hatred?
Those larvae probably had better deaths than their victims would have when they grew up to become full-blown murder hornets.

@brawmankerlexterminateurde860 hornets and wasps are good for the ecosystem. And if they come to me with "no, they are bad and they kill our bees and they are bad for the planet" they are completely wrong, wasps are good pest controls, some wasps pollinate and some even does honey. if wasps wasn't there, overpopulation of a lot of other insects and arachnids will start, producing a lot of damage to the ecosystem and harming crops.

My friend and I were attacked by "mud bees" who built a nest on the vertical wall of a creekbed in Georgia. I never thought that they too were protected by wind and sun but it was true. We ran over this nest we didn't know was there until it was too late and got attacked by a swarm. Even after I got home I had a few bees still stuck in me. Inside my sock, shoe and shorts, stingers still attached to both the bees' bodies and my own. I got stung 15-20 times and felt dizzy and nauseated, with a bad headache. I can't remember suffering at all days later so I recovered very quickly. It wasn't like getting stung by one wasp in Ohio and half my neck swelled up. The brown wasps of Ohio were far more aggressive than the red wasps of Georgia, or perhaps I learned my lesson in Ohio and showed respect to avoid the red wasps of Georgia? Either way, maybe that's why I'm scared of hornets, while bees and bumblebees don't scare me at all.

Nothing is impossible, but that is extremely unlikely. There are zero reports of sightings of the Vespa Mandarina in Europe. Of course, there were equally zero sightings of them in the USA til not so long ago... If you do see one try and take a picture of it, it would be very relevant for researchers!
