Hornet nests spark alarm across Belgium and the Netherlands

Original: hoornaars

A string of hornet nest discoveries is worrying people in Belgium and the Netherlands. Beekeepers are sounding the alarm over the spread of the Asian hornet, calling the problem increasingly serious. In Hasselt, pest controllers were attacked by 2,000 Asian hornets on a primary school playground and sprayed with venom, while other large nests were removed in Helvoirt, an empty house, and at a Gendt sports park.

Why now: Multiple dramatic hornet nest removals and warnings from beekeepers about the invasive Asian hornet have surfaced in the same news cycle.
