Very bad news this morning:
York county, SC

The yellow-legged hornet has now been found in York County. One of our customers, who is also an arborist, spotted, caught, and reported the hornet, and Clemson quickly followed up by setting additional traps. We’re incredibly thankful for customers who look out for our environment and our bees. Thanks Peter!

Clemson is preparing an official news release, and we will share it as soon as it’s published. They are actively setting more traps and working to locate the nest, which is harder this time of year as the hornets begin to go dormant.

A big thank-you to Brad Cavin and other clemson members, who has spent countless hours trapping and helping with the capture of many these nests closer to the ocean and for their help in York County .

First detected in the U.S. in 2023 (Savannah, GA), this invasive hornet is a serious predator of honey bees. Look for a dark body with a bright yellow band and yellow legs. If you see one, report it immediately to your state agriculture department.

How do we stop it?
By getting everyone involved. The more traps we put out, the faster we can locate the nest(s). Watch Clemson’s video on how to make simple traps. If you don’t want to make your own, please donate clean empty 2-liter bottles by placing them in our mailbox. Every little bit helps. All of our bee yards will have a trap soon.
