First Asian hornet nest eliminated in Poland
Published
The first Asian hornet nest in Poland has been eliminated. The information was reported by the Notes from Poland portal, and its source was the UA.NEWS service.
The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) is an invasive species. It originates from Asia and reached Europe at the beginning of the 21st century. Since then, it has spread across many European countries, for example France, where it first appeared.
This insect poses a threat primarily to honey bees. The Asian hornet hunts bees near hives, which can weaken apiaries. Its stings are also dangerous to humans, especially to people allergic to insect venom.
Removing the nest is an important step in protecting bees and other pollinating insects. People who notice a similar nest should report it to the appropriate services rather than trying to remove it themselves.
