Description
"April and May are the season for capturing the nests of the Asian hornet", explains Eric Darrouzet, teacher-researcher and lecturer in insect biology, and a specialist in the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina). The predator appeared in France 20 years ago and has since spread widely, accounting for an estimated 20% of beehive deaths and representing an annual loss of €12 million for the beekeeping industry.
