Simon Castleman, Asian Hornets - The Jersey Experience
From 7.30pm
At online via Zoom, link will be sent to members
In a change to our advertised programme, our speaker on Tuesday will be our very own Simon Castleman.
Simon, ever the intrepid explorer, decided last year to take himself off to Jersey to gain some first-hand experience in dealing with the yellow-socked peril, by helping the Asian Hornet Teams, run by the Jersey beekeepers, with their now ceaseless task. Simon will give a brief overview of the Asian Hornet including some "facts" and "misconceptions", some lessons that they've learned in Jersey after 7 years of dealing with the hornet and some thoughts on what happens when/if it reaches the Shire (and Rutland).
