Working up in Manchester and on the list of “what to do in Manchester “ in my room was this little gem. £173pp for an hours lesson. Fair play to whoever it’s is, but also…what a rip off!!!

As leaves fall yellow-legged Asian hornet nests in trees may become visable.
Please report all sightings using the Asian Hornet Watch app.
Please remember, to be investigated there needs to be a photo of the insects as well as the nest.
Nests of other species can be very similar.

Yellow-legged Asian hornet primary nests can be found in many sheltered spots including sheds, outbuildings and bird boxes.
Please stay vigilant.
Any initial photos must include the insect to be investigated.

I seem to have my 1st case of CBDV. Any advice as to what to do about it from people that have dealt with it would be greatly appreciated. It seems some leave it and it clears up, some kill the queen and some take all the capped brood away and give that to other colonies 1-2..

If you would like an over wintered nuc on standard national headed by a ‘24 summer bred Welsh Buckfast queen it would be my pleasure, I don’t post so you would need to pick it up….

Can you spare time to monitor for yellow-legged hornets over the next 2 weeks? Help protect our native pollinators and take time to observe insects feeding on monitoring stations, fruit/fallen fruit and flowering ivy before winter.
Your sightings can make the difference.
Looking forward to this on Saturday. Will be the first @nathoneyshow I've been to.
