Conservationist believes biosecurity's response to hornets 'inadequate'
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
A conservationist and former bee keeper is describing biosecurity's response to the yellow legged hornet as "hopelessly inadequate". Three queens have been discovered on Auckland's North Shore, one in the early stages of building a nest, and two males have also been spotted. The hornet, that's not established in New Zealand, is known to feed on honey bees and could pose a threat to the industry. Northland conservationist and former beekeeper Brad Windust spoke to Lisa Owen.
