Asian hornets have been spotted in the UK in record numbers this

speaks to ecologist Prof Juliet Osborne about why this species of
hornet is so voracious, how European beekeepers have been impacted
by their arrival, and how scientists and the government are
attempting to prevent them from becoming established here. Help
