Question 11635 — animals

Summary

The problem of the Asian yellow-legged hornet constitutes a major challenge, both for the sustainability of the beekeeping industry and for the preservation of biodiversity and public safety. The concerns expressed by beekeepers in the territories are fully taken into account by the Ministry of Ecological Transition. In this regard, Decree No. 2025-1377 of December 29, 2025, specifying the terms of adoption of the plan national and departmental plans to combat the Asian yellow-legged hornet, was published in the Official Journal on December 30, 2025. This publication makes it possible to remove the regulatory uncertainties previously noted and to establish a clear, harmonized legal framework that is enforceable against all stakeholders concerned. This decree constitutes a decisive step for the operational implementation of the law, by regulating practices control, by preventing the use of non-selective measures contrary to the objectives pursued and by structuring the action of local authorities, in conjunction with beekeepers and State services. The national control plan, drawn up on the basis of this decree, is therefore in preparation. In this context, exchanges are planned with representatives of beekeepers as well as with specialized technical institutes, in order to share findings, evaluate existing systems and identify the most effective means of control to deploy. Regarding financial resources, it is specified that the mobilization of long-term funding dedicated to this public policy will take place within the framework of the adoption of an effective budget.
