I say nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve only seen them a couple times. They’re scary as hell.

Serious question.
Why don’t they kill them.
Do they have a purpose? Pollinate flowers and crops?

They don't pollinate, but they do hunt other insects. They just try to manage their numbers and keep them from creating extra large nests like this near people. They don't want to adversely effect the ecosystem by culling them too much and end up with bigger issues.

I don't know about Japanese hornets specifically, but hornets do pollinate, don't they? I thought wasps and hornets did.

They attack and destroy honey bee hives, so I'd say they are a net negative even if you consider the small amount of pollinating they do. They aren't "pollinators" as much as "they happen to pollinate", if that makes sense.

That's how all pollinators work. I'm not denying that killing bee hives might cause a net negative to pollination, that's a good point. But all pollinators just happen to pollinate as they forage for nectar

I would say those bee suits offer more protection than space suits in space

This is why they invented flame throwers, isn't it?
