Have A Holly, Jolly, Bzzzzzzzzz.



Make sure your Christmas Tree isn't coming from Hawaii this year! Then again, buying a tree full of wasps would be a great gift for your ex too.

Four refrigerated containers from the Pacific Northwest — each holding about 300 Christmas trees — were found on Saturday to be infested with the predatory wasps and were quarantined, according to Janelle Saneishi, spokeswoman for Hawaii's Department of Agriculture.

About 50 containers were examined during the weekend, and inspectors were going through an additional 50 on Monday, Saneishi said.
