      So they’re in the country, but we’re not being told where they are. Why? Was someone going to steal them?

      As a beekeeper myself and having seen videos of Asian Hornets hovering in front of hive entrances just plucking bees away, these fuckers are terrifying.

      Hornets can empty a hive of bees over a few days. To put that in perspective, a healthy bee hive can have around 10,000 bees in it.

      I’ve seen fuck all bees and wasps this summer. Could this be the reason?

      From the article:

      >That sighting and capture was the second confirmed identification of an Asian hornet in Ireland and **triggered the establishment of the Asian Hornet Management Group**, chaired by the NPWS.

      Just wondering how much this „management group“ is going to cost „we the people who pay taxes“.

      Also, the fact that this invasive species was allowed to enter the island is proof that there is ZERO border security/control efforts in preventing infestations by nasty insects that don’t belong here.

      Ireland should take a leaf off both the Aussie and Kiwi books on stoping these pests from entering their countries.

      Terrible news, hopefully everything is being done to eradicate them.

      I remember seeing a video from overseas, maybe a couple of years ago, of a tiny little drone following a hornet back to its nest, for eradication. Hopefully the same technology can be employed here.
