Predatory yellow-legged hornets remain active and are a threat to honeybees and agriculture. The Georgia Department of Agriculture has warned of their presence, noting that they pose a risk to the state's No. 1 industry.

The department's Plant Protection team is working to eradicate the invasive pests. In September, the team found a significant number of hornets and nests, and deployed new traps.

Further details on the situation and the department's efforts are available from the Georgia Department of Agriculture, which has shared information on the issue through social media.
