Asian Hornet:
The Asian hornet arrived in France in 2004 and is now common across large areas of Europe posing a severe hazard for honey bees and other pollinating insects. Several sightings of this predatory insect have been made in recent years in the Midlands, the South and the West of England.
It is imperative that every effort is made to reduce the intrusion of the Asian Hornet into this country. For detailed information please see our Asian Hornet page.
