I think by the look of the map they're coming from Belgium....😁

I don't know about Asian Hornets and I certainly don't want to meet one. My arch nemesis is the common wasp - last time I was stung I took an allergic reaction having been stung too many times before. Face and neck swelled up. An ice cube on the sting cools it right down but needs repeating every 10 minutes. My response to wasps is ANT powder. A quick scoosh near the nest polishes them off. One old dear I was doing a job for was going to be charged £75 for a thirty second job by a pest controller. Quick squirt of ant powder into the nest followed up by a blast from the leaf blower and it was all over for the stripey beggars.
