The Town Hall of Morzine urges vigilance against the Asian hornet, an invasive exotic species, and outlines the reporting procedure to organize control efforts.

The Asian hornet, which appeared in France in 2004, is an invasive exotic species posing a danger to ecosystems, particularly pollinators, and a threat to human populations. The Health Defense Group works to organize the fight against this insect, which presents significant risks to the beekeeping sector and biodiversity.
If you believe you have spotted an Asian hornet nest, the procedure is as follows: take a photo of the nest if you can do so safely, then report your suspicion online via the official website frelonsasiatiques.fr. Each report is crucial for better identification of this invasive species and for organizing the fight against its spread.
