Recent (August 2023) BBKA Guidance on Managing Yellow-legged Asian Hornets

In the light of recent rapid increases in Yellow-legged Asian Hornet sightings in the UK, the BBKA has ramped up the activities in this area and most recently arranged 2 very good talks given by Andrew Durham from Cambridgeshire Beekeepers’ Assocation. These are now on YouTube and the links are below :-
