A high-tech way of tackling an invasion of killer Asian hornets has been developed - by tagging them like criminals to trace their nests.

Scientists have shown that electronic radio tags could be used to track the invasive insect and stop them colonising Britain and killing our honeybees.

The fearsome insects, far bigger and more fearsome than the native UK species, first arrived in France in 2004 after sneaking into the country in a shipment of pottery from China.
