Spain faces Asian hornet invasion that has left three dead in Galicia
Santiago de Compostela/O Saviñao, Oct 31 (EFE).- With its yellow legs and characteristic orange stripe, the Asian hornet has colonized Galicia in just over a decade and caused three deaths in only two weeks this month, but it also strikes terror among beekeepers, who can lose up to 50% of their bees.Larger than the common wasps known in Spain, this invasive species of Asian origin nests in diverse environments, both rural and urban, and is highly adaptable to the climate and territory, which has allowed it to spread throughout Galicia.CAMERA: JOSECHU ORTIZ.FOOTAGE OF HIVES IN O SAVIÑAO, LUGO (SPAIN).
