スズメバチの毒針による刺害事故は二桁を下回りません。ミツバチと違いスズメバチは何度もさすことが出来ます。
In Japan, about 10 to 20 people a year are killed during extermination work against wasps, which have powerful poisonous stings.=毒針
Unlike honey bees, which can sting once and then die, yellow jackets and other hornets can sting multiple times.
縄張り意識が強く攻撃的なスズメバチ。餌が減る初秋は特に危険です。
Wasps become more territorial and aggressive around late summer and early fall as food becomes scarce. When wasps recognize an enemy, they secrete an alarm pheromone and attack in groups.

The decline in honey bee populations is a matter of concern, as it has far-reaching consequences for agriculture, food security, and biodiversity.
ダスキンでは掃除機機能を持つドローンで巣やハチを吸い取る手法の駆除サービスをはじめました。
Duskin has been providing pest control services for a long time. Wasp extermination involves the risk of stings and the danger of working at heights as nests are sometimes built in high places. The drone has a vacuum function and sucked up the flying insects and the nest using a tube with a widened tip like a trumpet. Manual labor was considered essential to remove nests, but the use of drones dramatically increases safety.
