Yellow-legged Asian Hornet

The Yellow-Legged Asian Hornet poses a significant threat as it could decimate our honey bees and other pollinators in the UK. It is important for everyone to be actively looking for it. 

If you spot an Yellow-Legged 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.
