United Against the Asian Hornet
The Asian hornet is an invasive species that poses a threat to bees and other insects. From March through November, they are active in various ways. In the spring (March to late May), the queen emerges from her winter hibernation and begins searching for food.
By using selective traps, we can reduce the number of nests and limit the impact of this hornet on our ecosystem.
