UK bees in danger as Asian hornet sightings rise
BBC
Record sightings of Asian hornets are raising fears of catastrophic consequences for the UK's bee populations for years to come.
The invasive hornets are wreaking havoc in mainland Europe and threaten to get a foothold in the UK, with nests found in East Sussex, Kent, Devon and Dorset.
The insects feed on native bees and wasps, damaging biodiversity.
The warning comes as leading scientists release a global report into the threats caused by invasive species.
