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)

Apparently the nbu are sending out 2 teams of people to jersey

I hope they've got this wrong

Asian hornet sighting - new forest area

It's also on the government website

New Milton - 76 miles from me driving, or 49 miles 'as the crow flies'

There doesn't appear to be any updates on this yet

This must mean there'll be an increase in innovative anti-hornet entrances and what-not being flogged to beekeepers in the UK?
