Asian Hornet queen spotted in Folkstone - AHAT members are already setting up traps in the area, but if you live around the CT19 area, please be extra vigilent, and report any sightings through the 'Asian Hornet Watch' app, or here: https://t.co/UK3anzYagS

Do you really know where your honey comes from? Honey authenticity is a problem for beekeepers and consumers alike.

BBKA encourages Government to revisit current honey labelling regulations, to prevent adulterated honey from being sold in place of the 'real stuff'.

A positive move for all beekeepers, preventing the sale of 'fake' honey to unsuspecting consumers.

@BeesAndFungi @DaveGoulson Great stuff! A body of water like that, with sticks down into it allowing safe drinking will be popular with all manner of pollinators - not least of all honey bees, who require a huge amount of water during the summer months to keep cool, among other things!

First suspected Asian hornet sightings of 2022 in Kent!
Now is the perfect time of year to start monitoring for hornet queens, especially given we are in a part of the UK that is more at risk of Asian hornet incursion.
