The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

He may release them. With bee swarms it's common practice to starve them for a day before putting them into their new hive. That way they don't immediately swarm/leave again. Wouldn't be surprised if something like that works with hornets too. Starve them a bit then release them in the woods.

FYI no need for poison. Just use dish-soap water. (Works for bees at least and their carapace is the same material as hornets/wasps)

Article said he puts down the hornets. And I don't blame him at all..
