Asian hornets have survived the winter in the UK for the first time, confirmed by DNA testing. This invasive species, known for preying on honeybees, was found in East Sussex and is genetically linked to a nest destroyed in the area last year. Experts warn that the survival of these hornets could decimate British honeybee populations and make the UK a permanent home for the species. The increasing sightings of Asian hornets, including a sighting in Yarm, have raised concerns among households and environmentalists.
