Spotting Asian Hornets

Asian Hornet Alert

As spring arrives, please be on the look out for the Asian Hornet (Vespa veluntina). This non-native species can pose a serious threat to our native pollinators, including honey bees. If you spot an Asian Hornet or their nest, please keep a safe distance, take a photo if possible, and report the sighting to the appropriate authorities.

For more information on identification tips, reporting procedures, and the potential impact on local wildlife, visit our Environment and Climate Change page which includes Asian Hornet Information.
