Insect experts say people should remain calm about the large insect being called the “murder hornet.” The Asian giant hornets found in Washington state rarely kill humans. But they do kill whole hives of honeybees, which are already at risk. Many bug experts told The Associated Press that what they call hornet “hype” reminds them of the 1970s public scare of Africanized honeybees. The insects, popularly called “killer bees,” started moving north from South America. These more aggressive bees did make it up to Texas and the American Southwest. While the bees do kill people in rare situations, they did not live up to their fearsome name. This time, it is hornets with a frightening-sounding name. Bug experts want that name to be dropped.
