from Ian Condon, Piddle Valley Gardens Club - You may have heard about the threat to British wildlife posed by the Asian (yellow legged) hornet. These creatures have spread across France and have made it to the UK in increasing numbers over the last few years. They pose a serious threat to our native insects in particular our honey bees and other pollinators. Not only that, they are extremely aggressive if the nest is threatened and pose a serious threat to humans. Please find attached two posters from The British Bee Keepers Association about the threat from the invasive Asian Hornet I hope it will be of interest to you and to all Gold Club members. You can access lots more information on the BBKA website:
