A hiker has died after the group she was walking with was attacked by Asian hornets in France. It's the second attack in the area in less than a week and comes less than a month after we reported on three hikers who were hospitalized after being stung by Asian hornets in Taiwan.
The incident took place in the northwestern region of Brittany yesterday, according to the French newspaper Connexion France. The group of eight was walking on a hiking trail near Pleudihen-sur-Rance (Côtes-d'Armor) when they encountered a hornet nest on the ground. A single nest can house up to 4,000 hornets.
