Asian hornet attractant

Features

The VeluTractive BeeVital Asian hornet attractant helps protect hives against Vespa velutina. This bait is specially designed for trapping Asian hornets around apiaries. Its formula is based on naturally sourced fermented plant extracts. It comes with a fermentation activator sachet, making it easy to prepare. Its attractiveness to the Asian hornet has been scientifically recognized. The bait is particularly suitable for strategic periods in the Asian hornet’s life cycle.
It can be used in spring to target founding queens. Using it in late summer can also reduce pressure around hives. For greater selectivity, use this attractant with a trap suited to the Asian hornet. This combination helps limit the capture of non-target insects.

Benefits

The Asian hornet poses a significant threat to bee colonies. Its presence near hives can cause considerable stress to bees. Heavy pressure can also disrupt the colony’s normal activity. Trapping therefore offers a complementary way to reduce this pressure.

The VeluTractive BeeVital attractant offers several benefits for beekeepers:

1. Targeted attraction: the formula is designed to attract Vespa velutina.
2. Naturally sourced formula: the bait uses fermented plant extracts.
3. Strategic use: it is suitable for key periods in the hornet’s development.
4. Apiary protection: it helps reduce the presence of hornets around colonies.
5. Protection of insect biodiversity: it supports a more selective approach when used with a suitable trap.
6. Activator included: the supplied sachet makes the bait easier to prepare.

Trapping founding queens in spring is particularly valuable. This is when new Asian hornet nests begin to develop. In late summer, the needs of hornet colonies also increase. Using the attractant can then help reduce pressure on hives.

To protect beneficial insects, the choice of trap remains essential. Always choose a model designed to make captures more selective. The aim is to target the Asian hornet while limiting accidental captures.
