I don’t know whether this had been flagged up previously. Obviously not able to bring japanese queens to our shores, but given a few million years our species might just manage hornet attacks…
I actually saw that happen last year against an Asian Hornets. I've also found the odd 'body' in a hive presumably killed by the same method. It's pretty impressive to watch.
Am pretty sure European bees are recorded doing this but just not to the extent.
