Asian Hornets Nest

On Tuesday (24th) a group of men from the British Beekeepers’ Association lead by Alan Baxter climb a tree in the Old Cemetery to destroy an Asian Hornets nest some 30 m up a tree.

FoSOC were already warn about this nest and that it was to be destroyed and that they pose no greater risk to human than native hornets, but are a threat to honey bees.

Alan Baxter, from the British Beekeeper’s Association in Hampshire said the 75cm nest could hold about 3,00 hornets.
