invasive giant hornets are a problem
because they could potentially wipe out
honeybees and impact America's food
supply we still don't know if they can
be eradicated in North America but the
clock is ticking driving scientists and
locals to take action
because we not only love but depend on
the native honeybee the honeybee is
non-native wait what well in some of
these species that gets to another end
of a definition
some non-native species become
naturalized and that is that's kind of
the opposite of invasive and that is
they become part of the ecosystem that
they've been introduced to and fit into
the ecosystem and so there are
naturalized non-native species as well
as invasive non-native species
okay so let's get this straight
non-native species are the ones that
have moved into new ecosystems and like
Frank says such species can become
either naturalized as a part of the
ecosystem or invasive and disrupt the
ecosystem but species have been moving
around the world for millions of years
so does that mean every plant and animal
could have been considered non-native
and potentially invasive at some point
in Earth's history could North America's
beloved honeybees have been for a Time
invasive and out-competing Native
pollinators
what else patch you're killing me Frank
catch on eat birds eat small mammals eat
reptiles and and are responsible for
hundreds of millions if not billions of
birds being eaten every year cats are
the one of the most invasive species and
cats get a pass because people do like
them they shouldn't get a pass
I'm gonna anger all the cat people it's
okay I'm a dog person I own it
