I was thinking more of the caterpillars for caterpillars ....
As for the size of the hole: all the peak holes do not correspond to a nest .... just an access to a possible but juicy xylophagous larva which itself was profiting probably from a zone of wood weakened by the attack of a fungus ... which probably settled there during a small bark injury ...

The tree compartmentalized the area and largely began the work necessary to maintain its structure. Amha, little risk of breakage, hornets or not.

Ah la la la this mania of wanting to kill everything as soon as it "comes out of the nails" .... There's work.

Exactly! But no broken leg ... :D

Hymenoptera are quite capable of perforating, for example paper.

To limit the thermal shock caused by the laying of the hive in the spring, beekeepers place sheets of newspaper between the hive body and the hive.

At the time of the honey flow, the bees will perforate the paper very quickly and reach the rise. The scrap paper is thrown out of the flight hole, which indicates that the bees are making their honey. These are not ramblings, I practiced beekeeping and I even have a diploma! : Lol:

DY version http://mielleriedesgraves.over-blog.com ... tique.html

The INRA researchers say it's bullshit, but hey, business is business
Contrary to popular belief, the focus on trapping the founders does not provide real solutions in the fight against the expansion and predation of the yellow-legged hornet.


If I understand the principle correctly, all the insects which enter through the cone and can come out through the holes in the grid have been saved. So large insects that venture there are eaten by hornets, as well as bees not fast enough. It's free massacre.
The quantity in the cagot is substantial. Afterwards it will be said that the insects disappear. : Shock:

always this truncated reading:
a) the beekeeper has no industrial claim, on a global scale, but non-industrial beekeepers as shown by the few visible hives
b) he shows a crate, specifying that there are others
c) they contain 90/95% non-European hornets.
After, the choice is between losing a few non-target insects or continuing to see the hives devastated, by a simple, non-toxic means, which can be tinkered with for 3 times nothing, any fool would know the difference.

Pure cherry picking supported by policies
perhaps there are policies that are not entirely subject to industrial lobbyists, especially chemical lobbyists, who see them as wild competition here.
But as you have, as usual, difficulties to read French, the title is "fight against the Asian hornet IN OUR GARDENS". And this simple method is perfectly suited to it.

It will become so since "it is on the way to becoming an industrial product".

This applies to all products that have proven their effectiveness with users and even more so for professionals who, if the product is not good, will abandon it or not obtain it.

just a little thought would not hurt you. :x
