Rise of the Asian Hornet Poses Threat to Honeybees and Ecosystem in Switzerland
The increase of the Asian Hornet in Switzerland is endangering honeybees and the broader ecosystem, highlighting challenges for beekeepers. With 650 nests identified this year, five times more than last year, experts warn of significant risks to pollination and biodiversity. Mathias Götti Limacher from Bienen Schweiz emphasizes the need for immediate action to combat these invasive species, as they impact honeybee populations and potentially disrupt the pollination of crops and wild plants.
