通年だと10月の初めには襲来しなくなるオオスズメバチが今年はまだ襲って来ます
梅雨が大変長かった事、夏に台風が来なかった事(台風でスズメバチの巣が流される事が多い)など
理由はたくさんあると思いますが、何と言っても気温の高さが一番の原因です。
寒さに弱いスズメバチは気温が下がると一気に勢力が弱くなるのですが、今年はまだまだ勢いが衰えません。
こんな事からも温暖化の影響が感じられる11月の養蜂現場でした。
Normally, the Asian giant hornets stop their attacks and disappear by early October, but this year they continue to pose a threat.
There are several reasons for this, including the unusually long rainy season and the absence of typhoons during the summer (as typhoons often wash away hornet nests). However, the primary cause is undoubtedly the high temperatures.
Asian giant hornets are sensitive to the cold, and their strength rapidly diminishes as temperatures drop. However, this year, their vigor remains unabated.
These circumstances highlight the impact of global warming, evident in the beekeeping field even in November.
