The discovery of several 'Vespa orientalis' specimens in central Cartagena has raised alarms among beekeepers in the Campo de Cartagena. This finding, made during the removal of a bee swarm in the historic district, has prompted the sector to search for a nest, which they view as a direct threat to many beekeeping operations. Local beekeeper Álvaro Pérez clarifies that this is not the Asian hornet but a different, equally dangerous species.
