Author: Curiouscast November 25, 2021 Duration: 50:28
Moufida Holubeshen and her husband John Holubeshen have long been passionate about beekeeping; the couple has three hives of their own at their home in Nanaimo, B.C. In 2019, Moufida recalled an email that sparked her attention; several sightings of large hornets had led officials to believe there was a suspected Asian giant hornet nest in Nanaimo. On this episode of Global News’ What happened to…? Erica Vella finds out more about the Asian giant hornet and how they managed to arrive in Canada in 2019. She also learns how the insect earned the nickname "murder hornets" and finds out if the insects pose a significant risk to North American honeybees.

Remember that major news story that dominated the headlines for weeks, then suddenly vanished from the public eye? Global News What Happened To...? picks up the narrative right where the rolling news coverage stopped. Hosted by Global News reporter Erica Vella, this podcast digs into the lasting consequences and unexpected outcomes of events we all thought we understood. It’s not just a recap of the past; it’s a deep, thoughtful look at how those pivotal moments continue to shape our world long after the media spotlight has moved on.

Vella guides listeners through meticulous research and fresh reporting, often speaking directly with the people whose lives were forever changed. You’ll hear updates on recovery efforts, learn about ongoing legal battles, and discover whether those well-intentioned global movements actually led to lasting change. Produced by Curiouscast, this series sits at a fascinating crossroads between history, culture, and current affairs, offering a necessary perspective in our fast-paced news cycle.
