The Asian hornet is spreading in the Allgäu region and preying on honey bees. Recently, a hornet nest was found in the Lindenberg district of Buchloe. The property owner reports peaceful coexistence with the insects. Experts from the Lower Nature Conservation Authority (UNB) confirm that the nest belongs to the European hornet (Vespa crabro).

More and more hornets are observed in the eastern Allgäu, some of which hunt honey bees. The UNB explains the reasons for their spread and assesses the danger of their stings.
