Information sheet on the Asian hornet "Vespa velutina"

The Asian hornet, also known as the yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina), is native to Southeast Asia. From France in 2005 it arrived in Belgium, Spain and Portugal. In 2012, it was reported in the Italian city of Loano (Savona Province) and in 2013 in the entire Liguria Region and Piedmont. Its fast spread is due to the passive transport of hibernating queen wasps.

Aethina tumida Murray (Small Hive Beetle - SHB), belongs to the Nitidulidae family. In EU it is compulsory to notify it as beekeeping pest and to report its occurrence to the local veterinary services of the Regional Health System.

The suspected presence of Small Hive Beetle has to be reported to the local veterinary service as soon as possible. All SHB adults, larvae and eggs are required to be preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol and delivered to the authority in charge for its further identification.
