No, I was definitely thinking about bees so...

Yay, new anxiety!

Nope, they’re just reacting to old news

And I also never heard that it was bracism all along. I always wondered why that faded from public consciousness

Which is scariest? Particularly brutal hornets or swarms of aggressive bees? One bad sting or uncountable stings?

No, no there was a lot of clickbait about this event in the media he's referring to:

It was also found in the Pacific Northwest of North America in late 2019,[6][7] with a few more additional sightings in 2020,[8][9] and nests found in 2021,[10][11] prompting concern that it could become an invasive species,[12][Ala 1] but in December 2024, the species was announced to have been eradicated completely from the United States.[13]
