The Asian hornets, known for their predation on honeybees, pose a significant threat to British food security, stirring alarm among ecologists and agriculturalists alike.
Experts this year reported evidence of Asian hornet queens over-wintering in the UK for the first time, raising concerns about their potential establishment in the region.
With a swift response and early detection essential, the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology emphasizes the importance of reporting sightings through a dedicated phone app.
The significant increase in hornet sightings this year, compared to the last, highlights the urgency for public vigilance in monitoring this invasive species.
