Large Asian Hornet nests found in abandoned house promoting fresh warnings

Earlier this month, a large Asian hornet nest was been found in an abandoned house in St Brelades, a picturesque town located on the Channel Island in the United Kingdom. This discovery has raised concerns among locals and scientists, as the Asian hornet is considered an invasive species in several parts of the world, including the United Kingdom. Authorities are now warning citizens to be on the look out for these hornets and their nets, both for personal safety and to prevent the species from invading the UK.

Large Asian Hornet Nests Discovered in Abandoned House in St Brelades, Channel Island
One of the largest Asian Hornet nests seen this year in the UK was found in Jersey, measuring in at about 15 inches. This is what authorities consider to be the “front line” against the invasive species, and the last defense from the wasps invading the rest of the UK. The nest was found attached to the ceiling of an abandoned home, with about 1,500 inside it. This marks 171 found this year, up 71 from this time last year. Authorities are now concerned that the goal of keeping the species out of the rest of the UK might be slipping away. (1)

Invasive Species and Arrival in the British Isles
The Asian hornet, scientifically known as Vespa velutina nigrithorax, is native to Southeast Asia. In recent years, it has become increasingly problematic in several parts of the world. The species is considered invasive due to its ability to displace local hornet populations and wreak havoc on ecosystems.

They are known to prey on bees, posing a significant threat to honeybee populations and the pollination services they provide. In addition, Asian hornets can be aggressive towards humans, making their presence a cause for concern. READ MORE BELOw
