We then organized several tests of these molecules (4-oxo-octanoic acid, 4-oxo-decanoic acid and 2-nonanone) on the field, thanks to beekeepers partners, to know the real effect of these molecules on the Asian hornets, so that it would really be interesting to produce them biologically afterwards.
Beekeepers volunteers then received a detailed protocol with a random molecules among the three molecules of interests (4-oxo-octanoic acid, 4-oxo-decanoic acid and 2-nonanone). The effects of these molecules are usually tested from july to november for one of our molecules, and from october to november for the two molecules remaining. But with the exceptional weather conditions of this summer, these periods have been delayed by two months. So, we do not have received the results of the field assays yet.
