Yellow Legged Asian Hornet nest found and destroyed in Southampton – ok, still quite a few miles away from Fleet, but in Hampshire. ![]()

Please do keep an eye out for this insect that’s an invasive species and a predator threat to pollinators generally, not just honeybees. The hornet might be particularly seen on flowing ivy at this time of year. (Not to be confused with the native European Hornet that is larger, but no threat).![]()
