Musician scientists, who found that Asian hornets nests produce a 125Khz sound, are hoping that a near frequency will create a beat that the hornets will regard as a threat, in the same way the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was able to dispense with poorly tuned banjos.

He cited the instance when a Wings concert was halted after Paul McCartney said his mike wasn’t working; and a roadie exchanged it with the one his wife was using, which few outside etymology, appreciate, halted the 1975 insect riots.
Scientists hope that by playing a racket slightly out of tune with the ones Hornets make, it will encourage them to express their musicality in other lands in the way that Punk musicians never did.

Controversy swirls in the aftermath of Glastonbury, after several music acts had the temerity to do something musical. Worse still, self-proclaimed anarchic political performers did something vaguely edgy, instead of three hours of crochet.
