"Dupont later took down the tweet and apologized if people misunderstood his tweet."

Typical scumbag journalist. The Tweet was NOT "misunderstood."

"Murder Drones" with bug spray.

I remember the fight with the South American fire ants.
My Texas friends had to pour a LOT of gasoline down a LOT of ant hills to get those suckers.
I haven't heard much about them fire ants of late.

They are claiming that they have found a new mutated form of covid that is ‘more contagious’-

When I was young on the farm, I would cut hay in the summer. Damned old sickle bar mower would stop up in every bees nest. Sometimes get stung hundred times in one encounter.

One of the first things learned on the farm - never shoot a hornet nest.

** My understanding is the problem is what they will do to the bee population. **

... and by extension all farm products that rely on bee pollination...

[[Just go away....now it is BIG BUG SPRAY using terror marketing....maybe Murder Hornets can be killed with HCQ??]]

How Dare you? HCQ hasn’t been tested officially on murder hornets yet- - only Remsivider (which also hasn’t been tested officially, but unofficially isn’t anywhere near as effective as HCQ) at $10,000 a pop will work on murder hornets- Everyoen knows that

Seriously though- (Note concerning the virus, HCQ is reported to work to reduce the time of sickness by over 60%- Remsivider only 33%- but they are pushing the more expensive drug- and early results for remsivder showed that it had Zero Effect on the virus- but of course folks don’t know that because the msm is hiding it practically-)

** Honeybees in the US are almost entirely descended from Italian honeybees, and they will be a smorgasbord for the hornets. **

As a social insect I wonder how long it will take ‘our bees’ to evolve an effective defensive behavior?

‘I’m recalling a made-for-TV movie from the 70’s where the Killer Bees made it to Houston, Texas...’

1976, the Savage Bees, where the buggers invaded New Orleans during Mardi Gras, and were taken to the Superdome to be chilled to death...there was also The Swarm, 1978, a star studded flop, which took place in Texas...it is thought to be one of the worst films ever...

If I stay (shivering and whimpering) in an inner closet in my house with my Binky 24/7 for the rest of my life, will I be “safe”? Enquiring minds want to know!
