The yellow-legged hornet is a species of wasp that does not occur naturally in the Netherlands. The species is being spotted more and more frequently, including in our municipality. The yellow-legged hornet can cause damage to nature and biodiversity, and there is a risk of being stung if its nest is disturbed. The yellow-legged hornet aggressively defends its nest. We are therefore keeping a close eye on the species and taking measures to minimize its impact as much as possible.
