Bees with hips
Sorry mate it’s my fault I keep Mr. Magooing myself into large swarms.
Can’t we just all run around flapping our hands in front of our faces? That usually works.
“Asian hornets have caused havoc in France, where they have a stronghold, and have decimated honeybee populations… The Asian hornets first came to Europe in 2004 when they were spotted in France, and it is thought they were accidentally transported in cargo from Asia. They rapidly spread across western Europe and have crossed the Channel to Britain, probably also in cargo… Once they establish permanent populations they are almost impossible to stop.”
