Challenges in Removing Asian Hornet Nests in the Channel Islands

Credited from: BBC

  • Asian hornets pose a growing challenge in the Channel Islands, having spread across Europe since 2004.
  • The Guernsey Asian Hornet Team utilizes various tools like bait stations and cherry pickers to locate and safely remove nests.
  • Safe removal requires specialized protective clothing as hornets can sting through standard beekeeping suits.
  • Each nest is double-bagged and frozen before disposal to kill any remaining hornets, ensuring public safety.
  • The ongoing threat persists as populations in France continue to rise, prompting concerns for future hornet invasions.
