Asian Hornet Vespa Velutina

The BBKA aim to raise awareness of the Asian hornet as it could decimate our pollinators including our honeybees.  It is important for everyone to be actively looking for it.  If you spot an Asian Hornet, please report it by using the Asian Hornet Watch app available free on both Android and iphone or alternatively you can fill in the online form.
