I am sure many of you will have received this, but just in case it may be worth a read. Text from NBU as follows (link as bitly at the bottom):
April 2012 - Response Plan for Dealing with the Asian Hornet Produced
Developed by the Food and Environment Research Agency (Bee Health Policy and the NBU), in consultation with Defra (Non Native Species Policy, and its Non Native Species Secretariat), the Response Plan was finalised in April 2012.
Its objectives are: Early detection, interception and prevention of establishment, nest destruction to eradicate localised outbreaks (if within a limited geographical area or areas), development of longer term management plans where eradication is no longer possible due to the extent and number of outbreaks, provision of advice to beekeepers and all other stakeholders.
Please visit the Asian hornet pages on BeeBase (see below) to read updated guidance for beekeepers, including information on early monitoring and trap design. You can also access the full Response Plan through these pages.
Kind regards,
National Bee Unit.
