Alarm in Esporles: First Oriental Hornet Nest Discovered – What Matters Now

Answer

Are Oriental hornets now established in Mallorca?

A single nest found in Esporles does not mean the species is already widespread across Mallorca. It is, however, a clear sign that the island should stay alert, because warmer conditions and sheltered village structures can make it easier for new species to settle. Continued monitoring and fast reporting are important if more nests appear.
