The Province of Walloon Brabant is relaunching its "Bee Guardians: a united territory for biodiversity" campaign to combat the spread of the Asian hornet, an invasive species threatening bees.

The aim is to limit the presence of this exotic insect by providing citizens with free kits containing selective traps. These devices are designed to capture Asian hornet queens while minimizing the capture of other insects and contributing to monitoring the species' presence in the province.
The campaign invites residents to become "bee guardians" by installing these traps in their gardens. Interested individuals can complete their application online via a participation form available on the Province's website, by January 1, 2027 at the latest.
All useful information regarding the "Bee Guardians: a united territory for biodiversity" operation can be found on the Province of Walloon Brabant's website.
