The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) is a major problem for beekeepers in Europe, Japan
and South Korea. The traps can be placed around beehives where hornets have been
seen.
With no predators, the Asian Hornet (Bee Hawkers) will attack beehives and will
collapse them. They also attack other insects, butterflies and even small birds. How can you help? Everyone must their part otherwise we could face the eradication of the bee populations. Use this Catchy T-gate bottle trap to trap the hornet. Follow the easy to use instructions on baiting and setting up the trap. Contact your local agricultural authority when hornets are caught.
