(CNN)Just when you thought 2020 could not get any worse. Now we have giant hornets with freakish eyes and a venomous sting to add to this year's list of worries.

For the first time, Asian giant hornets have been spotted in the United States, specifically in Washington state, scientists say. Beekeepers have reported piles of dead bees with their heads ripped off, an alarming sight in a country with a rapidly declining bee population.

At more than two inches long, they're the world's largest hornets with a sting that can kill humans if stung multiple times, according to experts at the Washington State University. Researchers have nicknamed them "murder hornets."

"They're like something out of a monster cartoon with this huge yellow-orange face," Susan Cobey, a bee breeder at the Washington State University's department of entomology, said recently.

Killing more bees is exactly what we need.

This is really bad. Someone did a bug vs. bug death match on youtube and it took a scorpion to kill one of these bastards.

Jesus! I was joking. I'm aware of the importance of bees and the problem we're having with the decline in bee colonies. Putting me on the foe list will likely make your board experience better. Either you don't have a sense of humor or you just assume the worst every time you read a post of mine.

I think the current consensus is that cellular signals are fucking them up. Maybe 5G will be better for them.

can someone let the bees know they should shelter in place to stay safe? we'll deal with the lack of pollination with a stimulus bill or something.

Social distancing couldn't of come at a worse time...their only defense is to clump around the hornet and cook it with their body heat.

Sadly our bees won't even know to do that...

If the scout escapes the hive is screwed. They come back with their buddies and its over. Our bees don't know how to battle them anyway. They were discovered last year in Canada so it looks like they didn't get them all.
