Britain on alert for invasion of deadly Asian hornets after 'unprecedented' rise in numbers
Britain could be facing a record invasion of killer Asian hornets - after an 'astronomical' rise in their population. The 'explosion' of the dangerous bugs has been recorded on the Channel Island of Jersey - their UK 'frontline HQ'.
Asian-hornet co-ordinator Alastair Christie said the numbers were ''an unprecedented, astronomical increase''. He said: ‘''Despite catching 438, we may find that there are as many, if not more, nests than last year. We just don’t know at the moment.'' The stinger is long enough to puncture thick, protective clothing, such as the kind normally worn by beekeepers. And while they do not go out of their way to find humans to sting this is not the case with honeybees.
