So I lived next to the murder hornets well before they were all over the news. Everyone's locally knew to just avoid them and they simply avoid you. Now they aren't as common as they were at the time, but we have these GIANT bumblebees now that are easily twice the size of any we ever had before. I know they can't possibly crossbreed but I want to know what happened that led to the larger bees. Did the hornets destroy competition? Did they kill the small weak ones so only the large ones were left to reproduce? Have I smoked too much weed and am massively overthinking this? I guess we'll never know.
