Wildlife and health experts have issued urgent advice on what to do if you are attacked by an Asian hornet following a surge in invasive species. On Monday, the UK’s Chief Plant Health Officer Professor Nicola Spence warned the public to stay vigilant as the country enters peak summer season. She pleaded with beekeepers to report any sightings to the Asian Hornet Watch App, due to fears that the invasive species could further damage environments.
Dr Rob Collins, director of Policy and Science at The Rivers Trust, earlier explained that the wet weather over winter left local trusts “struggling to keep a wave of invasive species at bay”. He urged the government to support local conservation groups nationwide. Last year, the UK witnessed a record number of Asian hornets which sparked quick action from the Animal and Plant Health Agency’s National Bee Unit, which destroyed 72 nests in 56 locations with the majority of nests found in Kent.
