These websites give a lot more information on how to identify them and what to do if you do see them. #AsianHornet #AlienInvaders #UKWildlife #Bee #Beekeeping
We had a fascinating talk from Bev Price on Monday where she warned us about the Danger from the Asian Hornet to our bee and other insect populations. We said that we would share some of the key information through our social media to help people be on the lookout for these invaders #AsianHornet
Trump is not a #cockroach, nor is he a #blobfish, a #hagfish, or a #NakedMoleRat. He's not a #DungBeetle (which are actually rather brilliant things), an #AsianHornet, nor a #leech, a #tick or a #louse.
He's worse than all these things.
Without doubt he is the most disgusting thing on the planet.
#AsianHornet distribution in Spain, affecting honeybees.
Last week's #GoodDeed: notified a company about a #nest of the #dangerous, #invasive #Asian #hornet (vespa velutina) in one of their trees. Once you've seen a nest, you can't stop scanning leafless treetops for more, out of #fear it becomes an #obsession. #AsianHornet #Luxembourg

They may not be welcome, but still lovely to see the Asian Hornet (Vespa velutina) in Brittany this month, alongside our European Hornet (Vespa crabro), nectaring on Ivy. #Hymenoptera #Hornet #AsianHornet #EuropeanHornet #Frelon #France
