Experts have given their opinion after a worried Nottinghamshire resident feared they had found an Asian hornet at their home. A member of the public feared the worst when she discovered what she thought was an Asian Hornet, a non-native hornet which poses a huge threat to our native honey bees, in her garden in Awsworth.
The concerned local took to Facebook to share an image of the insect. She said: “Keep your eyes out.
“Any sightings need to be reported as these are nasty insects.” Asian hornets are known to be highly defensive of their nests and can swoop down and sting in ‘mass attacks’ when they feel threatened.
