Gov. Abbott launches 'Murder Hornet' task force

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced plans for a task force to battle the "Murder Hornets" that have been making headlines recently.

The task force will be led by Texas A&M AgriLife experts to protect honey bees right here in Texas by informing the public what to look out for.

The giant Asian hornets are a predator to honey bees and ruthlessly decimate bee hives.

There are concerns about the impact the hornets could have on our food supply.
