Remember when #MurderHornets were one of the seven #plagues visited upon us in 2020?

Well officials announced that we’ve eradicated them from the United States. "It is a rare day when the humans actually get to win one against the insects," said Sven Spichiger, an entomologist with the #WashingtonState #Washington Department of Agriculture

@RichardAshwell #MurderHornet #MurderHornets were also seen in NW corner of Washington State, but I haven't heard any updates on eradication for a couple years now.

Um, yeah. #MurderHornets are a big deal. And we need #Bees to be able to heat up their nests and destroy them!
