Since 2004 Asian hornets have spread across France into Spain, the Channel Islands and parts of the UK.
In 2018 so far a combined total of 56 Asian hornet queens and nests have been found and destroyed in Jersey.
Beekeeper John De Carteret, who is part of a group of volunteers hunting down Asian hornet nests in the island said the insects are not usually aggressive, unless a nest is disturbed.
However, he added: "As the number of nests increases there is a greater risk of people

Increasing speed limit would 'adversely impact' safety
Hayley Westcott
BBC News Online
Increasing the speed limit in Jersey to 50mph (80km/h) would "considerably adversely impact road safety", according to the minister for infrastructure.
Deputy Kevin Lewis was responding to islanders who had signed an e-petition, claiming 40mph (64km/h) is "too slow" on some roads.
He said although vehicles may be getting safer, "driver error is still the biggest factor in road traffic collisions".
He added increasing the speed limit would increase the risks for other road users such as cyclists.
The speed limit review programme is continuing to work with parishes to talk to communities about speed limits in their area.
The States eventually agreed to pay £409,000 for the field from the Carrel family meaning work can now start on Les Quennevais School.
Speaking for the family, Advocate James Lawrence of Viberts said: "The reality is that this sale effectively means the loss of an old Jersey farmstead.
"Our clients’ simple intention has always been to regain the loss in value of selling part of their farm in addition to fair compensation in accordance with the law."
Four of the five members of the States Assembly and Constitution Committee (SACC) submitted their resignations last week after the referendum result.
Committee President Peter Roffey, Vice President Lindsay de Sausmarez and members Michelle Le Clerc and Mark Dorey all announced they were standing down.
Elections to replace the members as well as the election of a new president will take place next week, following the Budget meeting.

Companies 'can't exist in more than just name'
Freddie Miller
BBC Jersey political reporter
Companies registered in Jersey will have to show they exist in more than just name, if plans put forward by the External Relations Minister, Senator Ian Gorst are approved by the States.
In December 2017, the European Union named 17 countries that don't comply with international standards on tax transparency.
BBCCopyright: BBC
Jersey was not on the list but the report expressed concern that companies doing business in the island are not legally required to have a substantial economic presence.
Having pledged to change this, the States of Jersey has been working with the governments of both Guernsey and the Isle of Man on a new draft law.
It includes requiring companies to:
Be "directed and managed" in the island.
Have an "adequate number of employees", in relation to the company's activity, physically present in the island.
Spend an "adequate" amount of money in the island.
Have "adequate physical assets" in the island.
Companies that don't meet the criteria in two consecutive financial periods could be fined up to £110,000.
More specific details are due to be published by 5 November at the latest, and if approved, the new law will come into effect on 1 January 2019.

Inert waste dumping site decision 'not democratic'
Alderney States member Alex Snowdon, of the Tidal Energy Group, believes the project has potential for the island, but he thinks SIMEC Atlantis, the renewable energy company behind the project needs to articulate that to islanders in the first instance.
"I would really like Atlantis to come over to explain to the island what their aspirations are for tidal development in Alderney waters, and what benefits we would see as an island for that."
The company would also need to explain what infrastructure was needed, he added.
A new law that would ensure companies registered in Jersey had a "substantive presence" including employees, property and economic activity on the island has been welcomed by the finance industry body.
It would bring an end to so called "bronze plaque" companies that are only registered in the island for tax reasons without any local base beyond a name plate.
Jersey FinanceCopyright: Jersey Finance
Geoff Cook, CEO of Jersey Finance, said it was a positive step forward for the island's industry and demonstrates Jersey is willing and able to meet the EU Code of Conduct Group's criteria.
He said most companies with the scope of the law will be "readily able to demonstrate that they meet the requirements".
Mr Cook said: "It’s particularly pleasing that the feedback we and others in industry provided throughout the consultation process has been listened to."

New tidal energy plans for Alderney Race
BBC Radio Guernsey
A renewable energy company is to announce plans to develop tidal energy in the Alderney Race, the stretch of water between the island and France.

SIMEC Atlantis wants to partner with the Normandy authorities, and says it also makes sense to have an agreement with Alderney to extend the scope of the project.
Quote Message: It makes absolute sense if we are developing such a large project in France, to use the economies of scale on that activity to then seek to exploit the wonderful resource [tides], that consistent resource, that is obviously present around the waters in Alderney. We obviously haven't started commercial negotiations but if we were afforded the opportunity, we would be delighted to commence those straight away. from Tim Cornelius SIMEC Atlantis CEO

New rules for Jersey registered companies
Ryan Morrison
BBC News Online
Companies registered in Jersey will have to show that they have a "substantive base" in the island under new government proposals to increase tax transparency.
The "economic substance" proposals are in response to the European Union Code of Conduct Group's (COCG) plans to reinforce global standards on tax matters.
COCG didn't raise any concerns over Jersey's standards of tax transparency, but did find an issue with the fairness of the island's taxation system.
BBCCopyright: BBC
It said: "The jurisdiction should not facilitate offshore structures or arrangements aimed at attracting profits which do not reflect real economic activity in the jurisdiction."
The States of Jersey has worked with the government in Guernsey and the Isle of Man on exactly what they need to do to comply with the COCG guidelines.
It is likely a company registered in the islands will have to be "directed and managed" in the island, have an adequate number of employees in relation to the activity of the company and spend an "adequate" amount in the island. They will also have to have "adequate physical assets" in the island.
The exact details of what constitutes "substance" won't be published until 5 November and the States will debate the proposals on 4 December.

New committee members to implement island-wide voting
Simon Fairclough
Guernsey Political Reporter
Guernsey's politicians will next week decide who will be responsible for working up the plans for full island-wide voting in 2020.
Voters said in a referendum they wanted to elect politicians from an entire island constituency, rather than by the current district system.
Four of the five members of the States Assembly and Constitution Committee (SACC) submitted their resignations last week after the referendum result.
Committee President Peter Roffey, Vice President Lindsay de Sausmarez and members Michelle Le Clerc and Mark Dorey all announced they were standing down.
Deputy Roffey said he had resigned because the process of implementing island-wide voting "needs to be led by someone who really feels it was the right decision".
Deputy Neil Inder is the remaining member.
Elections to replace the members as well as the election of a new president will take place next week, following the Budget meeting.

Several organisations are working together to research the endangered fish, including the University of Exeter and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science.
They want to establish how many bluefin tuna there are and use tagging to monitor their movements.
That side of it will be limited to around the South West of England, but researchers want to hear about sightings in the Channel Islands to build up a case for further funding to extend the study.
