Getting Stung

I saw this in my garden mag this week:

"Asian hornets, which have reportedly caused the deaths of six people in France, could head to Britain as a result of the warm spring.
It's claimed that the hornets, which are up to an inch long, can kill 50 honey bees a day, making it a new threat to pollinators."

They sound nasty little blighters, don't they.

Typical of the French, they just can't keep things to themselves

Re: Getting Stung

I can see us all taking a wasp/hornet swatter with us when we dare to venture out into the garden soon.
