Help spot the Asian Hornet


West Sussex Beekeepers' Association are raising public awareness of the non-native Asian Hornet which is devastating honey bee colonies in France and the Channel Islands and could be headed to the south of England, due to its proximity to the French coast.

Defra has a very active project in place to ask the public to help identify any Asian Hornets that have arrived  - a small number have already been spotted in Kent in 2023. 

Please open the information poster attached for further information.
