Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get worse, the murder hornets came

Like the modern plagues, first came Covid then came the murder hornets.

In what feels like irony as the world suffers from the coronavirus pandemic, a deadly and huge insect known as the “murder hornet” in Asia arrived in the US recently. It is threatening extensive harm to the country's already-declining honey bee population, according to new research.

Not only does their name invoke terror and they're scary to look at, the world’s largest match-box sized hornet is known for invading honeybee hives, decapitating all the bees in a matter of hours and carrying the mangled thoraxes back to feed their young. Yikes!

As the summer of a disastrous 2020 approaches, it is declared the world is already over this unprecedented, and frankly, dumb year.

One Twitter user quipped that it's basically as if we are living in a end-of-the-world film:

Others joked they were willing to give these bees a chance.

That's ALLEGED murder hornets, to you.
