Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I heard some bees have evolved/invented a defense, when one enters a hive intent on murder hundreds of defenders cover it closely & cause it to smother/overheat & die. Then they push the corpse out.

Right, that's the defense the native Japanese honeybees have developed over thousands of years of living with them but the American honeybees have no such defense which is why they get killed by the tens of thousands at a time.
@Sgt_Spanky you do not think interbreeding a defense-system bee with "regular"ones would work? By importing some queens,for example?
@AnneWimsey I'd have to be an entymologist to answer that but I do know that whenever Man tries to mold nature according to his preferences the results are frequently disastrous in ways no one expected.
@Sgt_Spanky so then we should leave those Murder Hornets strictly alone? You cannot have it both ways.....
@AnneWimsey They need to be wiped out. They never belonged here.
@Sgt_Spanky becuz you Do want to mess with Nature? How about swans?
