Life cycle of the Asian Hornet


January - March: Queens overwinter outside the nest. They are looking for sheltered places to get through the winter.

April: The queens wake up from hibernation and start building an embryo nest. This nest is often located in sheltered areas such as sheds, cavity walls or birdhouses.

May - June: The primary nest grows and the first workers appear. These workers help expand the nest and take care of the larvae.

July - August: The secondary nest is built, often high in trees. The colony continues to grow and this is also the period when the wasps often attack hives in search of proteins for their larvae.

September - October: Males and queens mate. After mating, the males die, while the fertilized queens look for a place to hibernate.

November - December: The nests are abandoned and are visibly empty. The new queens have found shelter for the winter.

Combating the Asian Hornet

Spring (April - June):

  • Detecting and removing embryo nests: Look for nests in sheltered areas such as sheds and cavity walls. Remove these nests early in the season to prevent colony growth.
  • Catching queens: Place traps with attractants (eg a mixture of sweet white wine, beer, and sugar) to catch queens before they can build nests.

Summer (July - August):

  • Detecting secondary nests: Note the direction of flight of workers to locate the nest. These nests are often located high in trees and can be difficult to see.
  • Professional control: Have nests removed by professionals, especially if they are difficult to reach. Use methods such as wrapping the nest with a sturdy bag and burning or freezing the nest in a controlled manner.

Autumn (September - October):

By following these steps, you can help control the Asian hornet population and reduce the impact on local bee populations and ecosystems.

de aziatische hoornaar is invasief en exoot.  onze eigen insecten hebben geen tijd gehad om er aan te wennen, waardoor deze aziatische hoornaar enorm veel schade toebrengt aan onze biodiversiteit nu. Hij heeft geen natuurlijke vijanden in onze regio, dus kan vrij voortplanten..
