About the event

European hornets lead fascinating lives. As a top predator, they are an important part of an ecosystem: eating insects that feed on plants and crops, they can be a gardener's friend; as they collect nectar they pollinate flowers and crops, and there is now evidence that with wasps they play a role in the production and flavour of our wines, So, come and join us to learn more about these fascinating insects.
