Asian Hornet Week is 10th - 16th September,
This gives us a great opportunity to share awareness of the Asian Hornet and the threat it poses to both bee and other pollinator populations.
It's important to remember that if we are to have any chance of stopping Asian Hornets from becoming established in the UK all Beekeepers, AHATs and local BKAs need to be prepared and spend periods of time being on the look out for Asian Hornets at apiaries throughout this autumn.
