I've spent three years ignoring a wasp nest in my shed and now I find out all I needed was a council and a hashtag.

Asian hornet sighting in Oldham leads officials to nest

A hornet sighting in Oldham triggered a coordinated search by local beekeepers and council pest teams, who tracked the insects back to a nest and destroyed it. The Asian hornet preys on honeybees and has been spreading across the UK since first being confirmed there in 2016. Officials urged residents to report sightings through the official app rather than attempt removal themselves.
