What is the Asian hornet and why is it concerning?

A threat to the local environment

The Asian hornet is an invasive species that especially affects native bees, key to the ecosystem and local agriculture. Its presence in the Alt Camp region has generated immediate alert and mobilization.

The impact on health and the economy

The risk is not only environmental. This species can cause dangerous stings and affect beekeeping production, an important sector for the local economy.
