“Those people in Amalialaan didn’t want any further fanfare, so we took the house to Geurt,” says Van Markus. A challenge immediately presented itself in Wegerif’s shed, because the beekeepers wanted to publicize the find. “The Asian hornet is of course not welcome here, but this is also an opportunity to show the beauty of nature. Normally you get rid of a nest by putting it in the freezer, which puts the hornets to sleep. Now we had to try to empty the nest first.”
Beekeepers in Baarn called in for the first time for Asian hornets: ‘Probably not the only nest here’
