HORNETS

[MikeyN.C.]

I've planted a lot of sunflower this year , and it seems they are attracting more bald faced hornets,and European hornets, have. every now and then seen a Asian hornet , should i be worried about hive ? ? ?

I'm not sure sunflowers offer a lot for the bees.

The asian giant hornet is a bee hive destroyer... the larvae are a delicacy and then they take the honey! I didn't realize they were in the US already =(

I've only seen a couple of hornets that were about 3 1/2 " long,and asked some people,and that's what I was told. ? ?

And they are more of a orange color,instead of the yellow an brown like the European,,but twice the size

I've seen pictures of the "asian hornet" and I see the similarity but they dont look the same.
