Swarms of vicious Asian hornets are heading across the Channel to Britain, the public has been warned.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said it feared the species had already, or was about to, spread to Britain during its peak season of September.
Defra said the Asian hornet – Latin name Vespa velutina nigrithorax – was ‘invasive and predatory’ and attacked honey bee colonies.
Has any one on here seen any of these Asian hornets in the garden or woods?
