Asian Giant Hornet Watch Pt 2
Wednesday Jun 9th, 2021 With today’s Fruit Grower Report, I’m Bob Larson. The Asian Giant Hornets could soon be emerging from their nests and the Washington Department of Agriculture is asking for our help in tracking them down.
The DOA’s Karla Salp says our data on the so-called “Murder Hornets” is limited so knowing WHERE they might show up, outside of Whatcom County, is unclear …
SALP … “If we didn’t get all the queens from the nests that we eradicated last year, we don’t know if they would still stay in that area. We don’t know if they would fly a certain distance over winter and then build a nest there, if they would fly a certain distance over winter and then fly even further. They’re capable of flying quite a long way, but how far they WILL fly, we don’t know.”
