it did not come up in a search due to an obscure Heading, which could have referred to anything

Just to be clear this is not A hornet (probably OK) but A COLONY (most definitely not)

I'd go down there and do a bit of tidying up - don't want one of those SBIs or RBIs to find your secret stash of Oxalic Acid crystals or Thymol powder or you'll be up before the beak.

my apiarys are alway impeccable! I am a guest on almost all of my apiarys, and treat myself as one.

I have seen the way some beekeepers keep their apiarys... shocking!

Have you heard anything more, locally, about the Asian Hornet discovery in Tetbury?
