Aren't "bees", they are hornets. Eggs could be mistakenly transported with food supplies. For example, food is boxed in China and a hornet comes in an d build a nest, the box is shipped across the ocean and we have the Asian hornet in the USA.

The yellow legged critters were accidentally introduced to France from China in 2004

One more good reason not to order from China.

Tonight's feature on Monster Chiller Horror Theater is....oh, crap. This is getting too weird, even for me.

“Just one sting is enough to kill someone allergic to their venom.”

I believe that is also true of domestic bees already present in this country.

Another unwanted gift from China and thereabouts.

The Chinese giant stink bug just invaded Turkey — stowaways on improperly cleaned storage containers — and is destroying the hazelnut crop. Goodbye Nutella.

Hmmm...does The Sun still have a topless girl on Page 3? They’re into selling papers, that’s for sure.

That’s because France is tolerant, diverse and inclusive! Looking forward to hearing about a new breed of mooselimb bee in France. The bee of pieces.

I’ve had the misfortune of being stung by one of these monsters.

It got me on the left cheek just below the eye.

I looked like I’d been hit by a car.
