eR2 AH map on the BBKA website
It has come to our attention that some AHT people are not appearing on the map. This is because no details have been put in the boxes labelled swarm map postcode/phone numbers on the team members record.
Please can you ask your membership secretary to check through and ensure that for those people who you want to appear on the map that these details are added. The swarm map box does not need ticking unless that person wishes to be on the swarm map.

Trapping
Can all associations ask their members to put a trap out and observe what is caught. Report any suspect Asian hornets via the mobile phone app: Asian Hornet Watch, online at www.nonnativespecies.org/alerts.asianhornet or by email: alertnonnative@ceh.ac.uk
Please share as much Asian hornet information as widely as possible. We must work together to try to prevent this invasive species getting a foothold in this country.
