The yellow-legged hornets, native to south-east Asia, were first identified on the continent two decades ago, arriving in France before spreading to Spain, Belgium, Holland, Portugal and Italy, where after first appearing in 2012 they are causing havoc in the country\u2019s northern regions.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a sharp rise in sightings of the invasive species in the UK last year. Bees are vital for the production of honey and maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Eleven MEPs from the rightwing Forza Italia have asked the commission to devise \u201cspecific measures to fight against the diffusion of the insect through funding control systems with EU resources\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Asian hornet, Vespa velutina, is believed to have entered Europe through the port of Bordeaux in 2004 in a container containing pottery imported from China. The invaders cost the French economy an estimated \u20ac30.8m a year, while the insects have caused a 35% drop in honey production in Portugal in recent years. In Italy, the insects were first identified in Liguria before spreading to Piedmont, Tuscany and, more recently, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto. It is unclear how much the Asian hornet has so far affected honey production at a national level, but losses in Liguria have been estimated at 50%, while beekeepers in Tuscany and Veneto are raising the alarm.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/jan\/15\/asian-hornets-killing-off-honey-bees-in-europe-say-meps\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-461\/\">Asian hornets killing off honeybees in Europe, say MEPs<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[788,575,12946,12947],"class_list":["post-122127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-asia","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-honeybee","tag-hornet"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122127\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
