Fascinating insight into how retired beekeepers are monitering and destroying Asain Hornets on the Channel Islands.

It highlights the real lack of effort put in by government and is exactly what our government will do. Using a 'Dads Army' to control a foreign invading force will ultimately result in failure like every other invasive species to attack our shores. What should happen is the government should train, appoint, equip, give legal powers of access and PAY an action team in every region of the country ready to go at a moments notice to track, capture and kill these predators. But they won't and they will make it here sooner or later. :roll:
