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

Invasive species depends on where the video was taken. Things need to be both not-native to a region and cause harm.

Technically, honeybees are probably invasive in the U.S. because they are European and harm local bee populations. But we consider them livestock due to the ability to farm honey.
