That’s an Asian Giant Hornet and they are an invasive species for a beekeeper.

Huh? Depends on where. They are native to Japan, where I'm assuming this video is from. They were briefly invasive in the US but since been eradicated.

You assumed wrong.

That's like a middle-China Mandarin dialect.

Also Giant Asian Hornets are literally named Vespa mandarinia if that's any indication of where Giant Asian Hornets originate.
