This is the Guardian.

A dangerous killer is coming for our bees.

Hornets will hover backwards and forwards with their eyes focused and as soon as a bee comes past their sight line they will aim to

grab that bee. These aren't just any hornets. They're elite predators and this year they've arrived on our shores in numbers

never seen before. Hornet will take her prize up into a nearby tree or onto a branch somewhere and she will

dismember it. These hornets strip their prey of the wings, legs and head and devour the protein-rich thorax.

I suppose it's a bit like when we eat a prawn or something,

we'll take off its outer coating and its legs and then we'll just eat the really juicy bit inside.

The Asian or yellow-legged hornet is feared by beekeepers across Europe and it's not just our precious pollinators we need to

be scared for they also enjoy eating the species that help recycle our waste like

flies. Now experts are rushing to find out if they're

established here because once they are they're almost impossible to get rid of.

Government and scientists will have a massive fight on their hands

just to keep them under control.

So how worried should we be?

And what are our crack team of Hornet hunters doing to stop them in their tracks? From the Guardian, I Madeline Finley,

and this is Science Weekly. Professor Julia Osborne,

Osborne, your chair in Applied Ecology at the University of Exeter and you've been

studying the Asian or yellow-legged hornet for a while now.

So tell me a bit about this species.

Yeah, so the yellow-legged hornet, also known as the Asian hornet,

is one of the species that is native to Southeast Asia.
