The Food and Environment Research Agency's National Bee Unit (NBU) has undertaken a risk assessment of the Asian hornet for the GB Non-native Species Secretariat (NNSS) which will inform consideration of policy options if the hornet arrives in Great Britain. This risk assessment is being peer reviewed and will be published for stakeholder comments. The NNSS has issued a species alert on the Asian hornet which is available on its website.
