New paper released on the hornets from tetbury etc

Interesting ... looks like they got there just in time with the Tetbury nest ... but where did the mated Q that established that come from? And where did she mate?

The localised foraging and wide dispersal (to account for the 50mile/year invasion front) are interesting behaviours.
