The surge in Asian hornet sightings in the UK last year has prompted experts to emphasise the critical importance of remaining exceptionally vigilant. The National Bee Unit reported the eradication of 72 nests across 56 locations in 2023, with a significant concentration in Kent.
While Asian hornets do not pose a greater risk to human health compared to native hornets, they do present a threat to honey bees and other insect pollinators.
Despite the absence of an established population in the UK, early trapping plays a pivotal role in the efforts to eliminate the species, as indicated by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (Defra). Government data reveals a total of 108 Asian hornet sightings since 2016, with 56 occurring in 2023. Eight sightings have been reported in the UK so far this year.
