Gotta be honest, if I saw a Hornet the size of my thumb, I’d be panicking regardless. I dont like normal sized wasps/hornets.

Dr. Moo, I just wanted to say thank you for taking time out of I'm sure a super busy schedule to narrate these videos. I have loved Because Science for a long time. Sad that whatever happened happened but hearing from you is way better then recycling old videos of Kyle. If there was a split, then split. Long time fan, Will DaMitz

[@MizuMark]

Honestly I'm loyal to kyle his personality and presentation are king and he still has the same passion....so what does because science have that Kyle doesnt?

[@MiscMitz]

@@MizuMark You cannot beat his presentation. He now has his own channel. I think what bothers me the most is all the secrecy... When someone leaves our favorite sports team, the management or the player always says why. It makes it seem underhanded and unfortunately, the "management" is usually at fault or at least takes the blame.

[@EpicMathTime]

@@MiscMitz WARNING: This is all speculation based on NOTHING other than what I've seen happen in the past involving other channel splits. There may have been some sort of confidentiality agreement. I wouldn't be surprised if Because Science agreed to continue paying Kyle for the revenue generated by Kyle's episodes only under the condition that Kyle not disclose details of his departure. I also would not fault Kyle for accepting such a deal, since he wasn't just a presenter, he did everything, and he deserves to be an independent creator and I know he will flourish as one, way more than he could have here.

[@MiscMitz]

I was just going to post that too. USA is so full of themselves. They have been found in BC, Canada also. Also, did you notice the first theory on how they got into the USA was a conspiracy that they were released intentionally?

[@exnihiloadnihilum5094]

@@debraransome1437 That may be due to exhausting the other avenues they may have arrived in. If they are not found nesting on plants or produce that is normally imported what is the other option? They hitched a ride on a ship despite not living near the coastline?

Double check your stats on annual deaths. That’s the annual deaths from all bee/wasp/hornet stings, not just the giant hornet. The human fatalities in Japan from giant hornets are in single digits annually.

Or it's commonly known as "Giant Asian Hornet". Murder hornet is purely a media hype name.

It is not commonly known as the Murder Hornet. It is commonly the Japanses or Asian Giant Hornet. Murder Hornet is a name the media gave it to make it sound ominous.

As they seem to be 4-5x larger than honey bees, would it be possible to make hive entrances as a grid of smaller holes instead of one large one? A partial sollution, of course, but it may be easier to deal with them outside of the hives.

Japanese Honey Bee: "... I'll bee back."

[@jefflindeman]

A honeybee hive of a local beekeeper was decimated in April (2020) about 10 miles from my house is northwest Washington. There’s probably no connection with this, but it’s now late May and I’ve already had to kill 4 start-up, yellow-jacket nests on and around my house - highly unusual so early in the season. It was a mild winter so I;m not real surprised, but at the same time it doesn’t bode well for this Hornet situation. I love to run my dogs on the wooded paths around here and it makes me a little nervous.

[@Justsomeoneyoucouldhaveknown]

1:15 someone from Asia thought that it would be cool to play bee keeper over here and when they got bored they just let them go free without a care for the environment. Wasn't the 1st time someone thought it would be neat to have foreign species for whatever reason without considering the consequences to the local environment.... Probably won't be the last....

[@JR1234567gamer]

I wish you did mention the fact that the result of being stung is only truly deadly if you gave an allegric reaction NOT by the potency in of it's own unless your being stuck thousands of times just like bee potency.

Can't you spray them with Raid?

[@lazarus9165]

So... Yes

[@LTPRD-id3ch]

Well you also have to understand that there are other pollinators in the US and they all do their job as bees do. People think that if the bees go away then everything will become desolate, and that's just not true. It's important to note that it may be impacted but if there are several thousands of other types of pollinators like for one example moths, that can still do pollination. I'd advise people to make sure you do your research before blindly thinking it's the end of the world when we can easily substitute it for something else. Something we should be talking about is how these new species will interact with all of the other variants of pollinators, and whether or not it may BEE necessary for us to import the Japanese honey bee as a counter and how that will interact with the environment as well. Stay smart everyone

There are some specially designed beehives in Europe that protect the native species against the hornets. They use a mixture of labyrinth deadend entrypoints to the hive that either lead the hornet to a pool of water where they drown , or trap it in a passage and starve them to death.
