[MuswellMetro]

Does anyone have more infomation on the felixstowe Hornet Asian hornet sightings from 2016 to 2022

 

[Wingy]

Not yet , just got the notification from our association - NBU confirmed sighting, more info to follow

There's a bit more detail on Beebase Beebase - Beekeeping information resource for Beekeepers

There's more detail and a picture at https://www.bbka.org.uk/news/first-asian-hornet-of-2022-confirmed

It was a live queen flying around in a shed until the householder swatted it. We've now got monitoring traps installed at selected apiaries around Felixstowe thanks to very swift action by the NBU inspectors. Hopefully DNA analysis will give some clues to where it travelled from.

Try going to the BBKA website. I think it's a link to there. The article is linked from their home page.
