The stability of wildlife populations is of great help to the ecosystems of every country. In recent years, however, more and more invasive species have emerged under the establishment of a stable flora and fauna population base, which has led to a "worse" model, because we have become more difficult to maintain the system, and invasive species not only bring instability to local ecosystems, but are more likely to lead to the disappearance of regional species.
Therefore, countries around the world are strictly controlling invasive species, hoping that the fewer the better. However, there is always no way to control all alien species, and there are many cases of fish that have slipped through the net. Coupled with the rise of the "pet tide" today, many people are looking forward to breeding pets. So it also makes the possibility of biological invasion increase, and the following we are going to talk about an Asian biological invasion of the United States, the United States was invaded by the "killing bumblebee".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > "killer bumblebee" reappear in the United States</h1>
In fact, it is not a strange thing that the United States has been invaded by "killing hornets", in December 2020, the Us.S. Department of Agriculture (WSDA) in washington state said that the footprints of "killing hornets" were found, and in 2019, footprints were also found. And in August 2021, it's also normal for the "killer bumblebee" to reappear in the United States, as it has already appeared. Although the United States has stepped up the clean-up of the "killer bumblebee" in recent years, it is clear that it is unlikely to have complete control.
According to a resident of Watcombe County, usa, in August, only 3.2 kilometers away from the area near the discovery of the "killing hornet" in the United States last December, the "killing hornet" was found again, which is also the first time since 2021 that the footprints of the "killing hornet" were found in Washington State, which shows that the "killing hornet" still exists in the United States and has not completely disappeared, and this "killing hornet" can generally reach 4.4 cm in length.
And some can be more than 5 centimeters long, belonging to the world's largest wasp, and this bumblebee is mainly distributed in Asia, but in recent years, the United States has been constantly haunted, indicating that the United States has been invaded by "murderous bumblebee" is already a fact.
And in recent years, the frequency of this "killing bumblebee" activity is rising, which shows that its population is also expanding, for the United States, has now become a headache, because do not know how to deal with, can only find a way to extinguish. However, for different countries in the world, there are also different tricks for "killing hornets".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > someone skewered it, and someone soaked it in wine</h1>
Speaking of "using bees to make wine", let us think of one thing, that is, before, China's Zhejiang Taizhou Linhai Dongcheng man, went up the mountain to catch the "mine bee", the result was lost for 3 days, after being found dead, at the same time, when the body was found, there were 3 bees in the sting, of course, the cause of death is not clear, but the relationship with the "mine bee" is very large, this report also explains that it went to catch the problem of mine bee bubble wine, is not clear. But when it comes to brewing wine with a "killer bumblebee", I still have to be reminded.
"Killing bumblebee" is actually called a killer bee, that must be extremely strong poison, may have a fatal impact on humans, so do not catch "killing bumblebee", but catch "killing bumblebee" for skewers, brewing wine does exist. The New York Times reported that the "killer bumblebee" had a crisp taste and "left a warm tingling sensation when eaten." Eating "killer hornets" is relatively common in Japan, and for centuries, people have been eating insects.
Japanese people often steam the larvae of the "killer bumblebee" with rice to make a traditional dish, and chefs even put the dead Asian bumblebee (including the thorns) on the kebab and grill it with hot charcoal, while some people also use the killer bumblebee to make wine, which is what we call bubble wine, and Japanese gourmets may also look for the nest of the "killer bumblebee" to get snacks and cocktails.
So some people grill it skewers, and some people make it into wine, which is more popular in Japan, but for the United States, no one does it today, because they are afraid of "killing bumblebees", which may have a fatal impact if they are not careful, and indeed the toxicity of "killing bumblebees" is also very strong, which is a recognized fact.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > how toxic is "killer bumblebee"? </h1>
The "killer bumblebee" is what we call the Asian bumblebee, and is one of the most dangerous insects in Asia, they mainly live in underground nests, although generally not hostile to humans, but if provoked, they will attack humans. The bumblebee kills dozens of people each year in Asia, and the bumblebee, wasps and bees common in the United States also kill an average of 62 people a year. This "killer bumblebee" is extremely toxic, and in its venom, it is divided into two categories: hemolytic poison and nerve poison.
Therefore, the "double toxin" effect, when the bee venom attacks a person, there must be more than two hundred bites, which may lead to a person's life-threatening, but if it is protein toxicity, after being bitten by the "killing bumblebee", it will quickly trigger an allergic reaction of the body and cause blood pressure to drop shock, life is dangerous.
So this depends on the toxic release of the "killer bumblebee". But according to the WSDA, no matter what kind of toxin it is, its level of threat is quite high, and the amount of venom injected in one stab can kill a person. Although such deaths are rare, it is still the "King of Poison Kings".
Therefore, the toxicity of "killing hornets" is not a child's play, their bee stings are huge, they will be very painful after stinging, and they have a strong neurotoxin, which may pose a fatal threat once they attack people. At the same time, everyone also needs to know a problem, that is, as long as the bees are provoked, there may basically be a group attack, rather than a separate impact, so it is still necessary to pay attention.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > summary</h1>
The toxicity of "killer bumblebee" is very strong, although there are grilled skewers, soaked sake, etc. in Japanese culture, but it is best not to provoke us in the future. Yunnan, China, has also found a super hornet with a body length of more than 6 centimeters, which is more threatening if it bites. So this shows that China also has the distribution of bumblebees, but because it is a toxic species, from any point of view, we must avoid it, although we are talking about the United States, but when we see it, we must also pay attention to safety.
