Faced with the loss of 35 hives to the invasive Asian giant hornet, French beekeeper Denis Jaffré knew he had to act quickly to save his bees.
Known as "murder hornets", they have no natural predators and can eat through an entire hive in a few hours. They have decimated bee colonies across Europe.
So in 2016 the Brittany beekeeper came up with a device with a one-way mechanism like a lobster pot to catch the hornets, thought to have arrived in France in 2004 in a pottery shipment from China. "If you don't set up traps, you see the hornets fly in front of the beehive entrance, they catch a bee and they fly away with it to go and cut it into pieces somewhere else. It is very hard when you see that all day long," said fellow beekeeper Christian Petit, one of the first to try out Jaffré's trap prototypes
