Hovering in front of the hive entrance, a single hornet can catch up to 50 bees per day. Under this constant threat, foragers stop flying in or out, paralyzing the colony. Without protection, reserves are quickly depleted and the hive’s survival is at risk. Installing an \u003cstrong\u003eanti-Asian hornet muzzle\u003c\/strong\u003e by mid-June prevents colony collapse and anticipates the predators' peak activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe muzzle brings \u003cstrong\u003ecalm and serenity\u003c\/strong\u003e to the colony, reducing the constant hornet stress.
