This months BBKA magazine has another article about the Asian Hornet.
(It was good to see loads of hornets in the trap in the 'photo).
the trap looked impressive and affective. Who knew hornets liked the colour red!

it was nice reading a huff post article on the asian hornet that actually had the correct picture in it! They even referenced the NBU and their ID sheets

as opposed to the mirror that has a couple of pictures of asian hornets that dont look like asian hornets to me, I think ones a European one and the other is a mandarin hornet (maybe)
