Highly Selective Asian Hornet Trap Velutina - BEEVITAL

An effective hornet trap that respects biodiversity

BeeVital hornet trap: a targeted solution against the Asian hornet

The BeeVital hornet trap was developed by BEEVITAL, a recognised player in the field of beekeeping and pollinator protection. This Asian hornet trap addresses a major issue faced by beekeepers and individuals alike: the proliferation of the Asian hornet, also known as Vespa velutina.

Unlike non-selective traps, this device is designed to limit accidental captures of non-target insects. Its specific design efficiently traps Asian hornets while allowing beneficial species, such as bees, to escape. It is therefore part of a reasoned and sustainable control approach.

Protecting hives and the environment

The Asian hornet represents a direct threat to bee colonies. It exerts strong predatory pressure in front of hives, weakening colonies and disrupting their activity. Using a suitable Asian hornet trap helps reduce this pressure, particularly during sensitive periods such as spring and autumn.

The BeeVital hornet trap can be used around apiaries, in gardens or near areas frequented by hornets. Its effectiveness relies on a targeted approach, without the use of substances harmful to the environment.

A highly selective and adaptable hornet trap

The BeeVital trap stands out for its high level of selectivity. It is designed to work with suitable attractants, while incorporating entry-reduction systems that limit access for small insects. This technical design helps preserve local biodiversity.

Easy to install and maintain, this hornet trap fits into an overall strategy for controlling the Asian hornet. It is suitable for both hobbyist beekeepers and professionals looking to protect their colonies over the long term.

Frequently asked questions about the BeeVital hornet trap

What is the most effective hornet trap?

The most effective hornet trap is one that combines a good capture rate with high selectivity. The BeeVital hornet trap is recognised for mainly targeting the Asian hornet, while limiting the impact on other insects. It is part of a reasoned control approach.

What is the BeeVital hornet trap?

The BeeVital hornet trap is a device designed to capture Asian hornets responsible for preying on bees. It relies on a selective design that helps protect pollinators and reduce the pressure exerted on hives.

What smell do hornets hate?

Hornets are sensitive to certain repellent smells, but the most effective control relies on targeted attraction rather than repulsion. Asian hornet traps use specific attractants to increase captures without dispersing insects to other areas.

Does honey attract Asian hornets?

Honey can attract hornets, but its use in traps is not always recommended. Specific attractants for Asian hornet traps are preferable, as they improve selectivity and reduce captures of non-target insects.
