Vespa velutina - Regionally adapted monitoring and management strategies for the Asian hornet in Hesse
The Asian hornet is an invasive species that is increasingly spreading in Hesse. It poses a major threat to bee colonies and therefore to beekeeping and agriculture, as insufficient pollination means qualitative and quantitative losses. It is not yet known what agro-ecological and economic effects the invasive, highly adaptable species will have under Hessian conditions. The project aims to assess the damage potential of the A. hornet for Hessian beekeeping, fruit growers and the biodiversity of the pollinator world and to enable a practice-orientated investigation of the species for advisory services. Information on the biology of the A. hornet under local climatic conditions and the damage to beekeeping and agriculture will be recorded and innovative monitoring methods tested. Results include the development of innovative defence and management methods as well as the evaluation of already developed methods of monitoring and nest finding and the testing and further development of defence measures at the apiary.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
