They were already in EU due to trading but this climate makes it much more inviting for them to settle down. Fret not it's just a bullet wound if you do get stung by it

Yeah, but I already have a phobia of wasps.

I was really confused for a second when I read that as

"Sharp rise in horny Asians sightings in UK causes alarm"

Well that's a turn of events for the Apocalypse

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I'm cool not getting raptured in that case.

Guess we have to import a enemy, fucking with nature even more will surely improve our situation!

[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have considered the repercussions of importing Japanese honeybees (which are able to defend themselves against Asian hornets), but I don't know enough about bees to see if it would be a good idea.

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 3 points 1 year ago

Importing other species always has consequences and is almost never a good idea, I understand the way of thinking but that was sarcasm ;)

Oh lovely x.x let's see until they are everywhere

Für meine deutschen Freunde : Die asiatischen Biester sind meldepflichtig. Falls ihr eine seht, Foto knipsen und dem Regierungspräsidium mitteilen. https://baden-wuerttemberg.nabu.de/tiere-und-pflanzen/insekten-und-spinnen/hautfluegler/artenportr%C3%A4ts/17059.html

Had one infront of my window the other day . Massive thing !

[–] Ooops@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The good thing is: They might be big but they are mainly a risk for bees. But not much is actually as obnoxious (or dangerous for humans) as the aggressive assholes that are our domestic common wasps.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bees are already dying out though, which is very dangerous to humans. We don't exactly need winged terrorists accelerating the process.

Maybe we should import some of my favourite insects, Japanese honey bees. They have an effective way to deal with giant hornets

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are Honey Bees in danger in Europe as well? The only headlines I've seen of them being on the decline were about North America before

Did you kill it or just post about it

[–] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pass it the blunt and you're safe.

You know, smoke might actually keep them away. I'll need to test this theory, but you could be onto something.
