Ahhh .. skip read it ... missed that !

My Cousin lives in Nanaimo and she was telling me they had asian hornets there that were killing bees .. I rather assumed they were the same ones heading in our direction across the channel - I can see why she was a bit concerned.

I know they're a real pest but I don't think incinerating Guardian readers is the answer
But then again .................................................................

Now that's a very good idea.. But the HSE would never approve..
