RE: The European hornets will soon be out
Ups, my mistake! Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) is the problem, not this one! Sorry, need to put my brain to work, it's 10 a.m.!!

Those haven't made it to The Netherlands yet, the closest countries where they were seen are France and England, so I expect them here as well.
They are in the north Portugal already and the government is taking measures to control them. It's a massive problem for our bees!!
Yes, the local European honey bees don't have good defences against these Asian hornets.
