I've seen footage of a handful of these hornets--and they are big (hummingbird size)--wipe out an entire beehive. Hope they never get established here.

Killer hornets. Killer bees. Killer tomatoes. Killer aps.
It’s getting ugly out there...

Bees can kill them, with some effort. They somehow raise the Co2 levels around the wasp, thus killing it. Bees can tolerate higher Co2 levels than the wasp can.

I would love to watch a ‘Giant wasp vs. Africanized killer bee’ grudge match.

Funny story. Client tells me that she has a yellowjacket nest that needs the Agent Orange treatment. I say, "ok" (even though it's not my responsibility), and walk up. I'm not afraid of them.
I promptly get stung four times in about 20 seconds. I walk down, and ask my client "what the eff? why are these guys so pissed-off?" She replies, "I dumped some manure on their heads." I say, "thanks for letting me know."

Guess what the cause is of this “plague”:
You guessed it - global warming!

Instead of building grandiose Ghost Cities just to keep the peasants forever busy and peaceful, the Chinese should devote their best minds to solving this out of proportion challenge of nature. They have no pesky EPA blocking their every step as over here.
It may be that while the Chinese are enjoying some benefits of small C capitalism, the prevailing attitude of the governors is not to place all that much value on the lives and safety of ordinary people.

Have you ever been bit by a dead bee?
