Africanized Honey bee vs Giant Asian hornet?

Given the appearance of giant Asian wasp in the US, what will/would be the consequence of an overlap of these species territories? Could the more aggressive behavior of the africanized bee affect the response to a hornet attack on a hive when compared to a common honey bee hive?

Wild honey bee hive in my yard 20 ft up in a tree. I would like to leave them alone if they aren't Africanized, but can't find anyone to take samples and send off for testing. Are there any other options?

The county and several pest control companies just want to destroy the hive without even finding out if they are European Honey Bees. Don't we have a serious problem with declining bee populations? Can anyone suggest other options?

Asian Giant Hornets vs Africanized Honey Bees

Considering the reports of Asian Giant Hornets being found in Northwest America, I wonder if America's toughest and most aggressive bee species, the Africanized Honey Bee, has any chance to fight off this new invasive species. And where better to ask this question than this subreddit.

Round 1: 1 Hornet vs 20 Bees

Round 2: 20 Hornets vs an entire colony of Bees

Round 3: All the estimated numbers of Asian Giant Hornets here now vs the entire population of African Honeybees here in the US.

This all takes place here in the United States if that wasn't obvious enough, during the spring/summer.
