A New Map Shows Where the Hornets Have Been Found

Nests Broken in Jersey

The Asian Hornet was introduced into Europe in 2004 and has since spread throughout France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. It arrived in Jersey in August.

The largest Asian hornet nest to be found in Jersey in 2023 has been destroyed, according to Alastair Christie, Asian hornet co-ordinator for the States of Jersey.

A new map has been created showing all the Asian hornet nests found in Jersey this year. There have been more Asian hornet nests in Jersey than Guernsey, an expert has said.

The number of Asian hornet nests discovered in Jersey has broken the previous record, with months of tracking work still due to be carried out.
