Asian Hornets have recently been spotted on Sark. These are dangerous to our native bee and insect species. If you spot the Asian Hornet, please do not disturb it as they have quite a sting but we would be grateful if you could contact Jo Birch and inform her of where you spotted it. Jo can be contacted by email on jo.birch@cwgsy.net or telephone 07781 467920.
