Lincolnshire beekeepers head abroad to fight Asian hornets

LBKA, a charity which was formed by the British Beekeepers Association in 1874, said the Asian hornets “prey on honeybee hives as well as other vital pollinators”.

It added one Asian hornet alone can kill 60 to 90 honeybees per day.

With a record number of sightings in the UK in 2023, The National Bee Unit said it destroyed 72 nests in 56 locations last year – most of them in Kent.

Stewart Maher, Lincolnshire’s Asian hornet coordinator said: “The experience gained by the volunteers in Jersey will be invaluable and will help us protect the county’s bees and the public from the Asian yellow-legged hornet.”

The group heading to the Channel Islands this year is comprised of members from Sleaford, Boston, Stamford and North Lincolnshire.

A further party representing Lincoln, Grantham, Horncastle and Louth is set to undertake the journey in 2025.
