    The next few weeks are vital to stop the spread of Asian hornets in Jersey, according to the former president of the Jersey Beekeepers' Association.

    Checking the nest

    On Friday, the first of what is thought to be at least five Asian hornet nests was found in the north east of the island.

    Jersey Fire and Rescue Service has flown a drone near La Crete Quarry and used an infra-red camera to identify the exact location of the nest.

    Bob Hogge, from the association, said it must be disposed of as soon as possible to reduce the impact on native bees.

    At least seven people were taken to Jersey's General Hospital from the Weekender music festival in Trinity on Saturday night.

    Officers said they may have been affected after taking the drug MDMA, also known as ecstasy.

    It was the first Weekender Festival, replacing Jersey Live, which ran for 12 years at the Royal Jersey Showground in Trinity.

    Acts included The Happy Mondays, Wilkinson and Two Door Cinema Club.
