If you haven't heard of these hornets, you will eventually...they're a problem in the making. You can search "murder hornets" for more information. Ideally, these hornets will be eradicated, or kept to minimal populations..but maybe not:(
Problem:
They invade and destroy bee colonies/hives.
Solution?
Since the hornets are physically WAY bigger than the bees, couldn't we just put a screen over the hives? Holes big enough for the bees, but too small for the hornets?
That's just an off the cuff thought I had of a way to immediately protect the beehive.
What do you folks think?
