Strange scourge It was the summer of 2015. We noticed strange insects flying around our yard. We tried to kill one of them by stepping on it. It did not work out. We hit him with different objects, but nothing. Finally we split it in two with a shovel and ... he lived another 6 hours without a head, but he didn't fly! In 2015 there were only two, but this year they are about 15, but they are easier to kill and we don't need a shovel. They look like bees, but are about 6 cm long and about 1-2 cm wide. They are black with yellow spots on the back, not stripes, but spots. I think they have a sting. They are neither hornets nor drones. If you have ideas about the species in insects, please tell!

Take them to the HEI. They will tell you what it is and what poison to use
There are similar insects in Japan, but I don't think it is possible for them to live in Bulgaria?
Hello, if you do not receive an answer here, be sure to write in the forum of the site nauka.bg - there you will certainly receive an answer. to me they also seem quite strange as it is not known what they are and where they came from. Write in the forum I told you because they can be dangerous - especially since last year they were so few, and now they have increased.
Take a picture, upload it somewhere and give a link here :)
There is a group on Facebook that I think was called "Insects and Entomologists." Take pictures of them and post pictures there. People understand a lot.
As you describe it, I remembered the priest pigs that I saw in the village as a mule, isn't that it? Here is a link from the wiki, but look for other photos
