Protect your bees from the Asian hornet

The Asian hornet is a major predator of the honeybee (Apis mellifera). Accidentally introduced into France in 2004, it has continued to spread and has become a serious threat to beekeepers. Stop-hornet is a flight-disruption system designed to interfere with hornets hovering in front of beehives, where they capture the most bees. By disrupting their flight, it reduces their hunting efficiency and increases their energy expenditure, making it harder for them to catch bees and feed their larvae. The result is a significant reduction in Asian hornet predation and in the stress it causes bee colonies.
