Their mere presence weakens native bees by triggering \u201cforaging paralysis.\u201d \u201cBees go into a defensive mode when there are hornets attacking their home,\u201d says Christie. \u201cIf you\u2019re in a castle under attack, you go into siege mentality.\u201d Bees will stop cleaning their hive and gathering nectar and water until the colony collapses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In Jersey, which is on the front line of the invasion, Christie has been leading the fightback. There\u2019s a public awareness campaign: People are asked to submit photos of suspected hornets, which are distinguished by their orange faces, yellow tipped legs, and sheer size. Braver volunteers have begun to construct bait stations: a shallow dish of dark beer or sugar water. If an Asian hornet lands, volunteers attach tinsel streamers to its back to monitor its flight path and trace it back to its nest. They use a rule of thumb: Every minute an Asian hornet spends away from a bait station between visits to feed translates to 100 meters of distance between the bait station and the nest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teams of volunteers now hunt Asian hornets landing on British soil, but detection is only the tip of the iceberg, says Elmes.
