Hornet Management in Honey Bee Colony with Simple Innovation

The publication titled Hornet Management in Honey Bee Colony with Simple Innovation primarily focuses on managing hornet attacks in honey bee colonies. It highlights simple, cost-effective, and practical methods developed in Nepal, particularly in Dadeldhura district, to control hornet predation, which significantly impacts the beekeeping industry.

The study introduces an innovative trapping technique that uses readily available materials to attract and capture hornets, reducing their attacks on bee colonies. The project has been supported by ICIMOD and GRAPE, and the innovation has shown promising results in field trials, helping local beekeepers manage hornet-related challenges more effectively
