Asian Hornet Danger!
Message from our Regional Bee Inspector

As you know there is a great threat that the Asian Hornet may arrive in the UK in the near future.

In France, Spring trapping of the young queen hornets has been found to be an effective way to reduce the number of Asian Hornet nests.

Please take a moment to read about the Asian Hornet Trap [shown to the right]

Best wishes
Adam Vevers, Regional Bee Inspector
South West (Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Isles of Scilly)
