Yellow-Legged Hornet Spotted in North Carolina | Charlotte News
Description
Invasive yellow-legged hornets have been spotted for the first time in North Carolina, posing a serious threat to local honeybees and pollinators. These Asian predators, known for systematically hunting bees near hives, were confirmed after a resident reported sightings near their hummingbird feeder. Officials are now racing to locate and destroy any nests before fall, when queens prepare to spread. Beekeepers are being urged to deploy homemade traps using grape juice and brown sugar to help track down the invaders. This follows a similar sighting in South Carolina — if you spot anything suspicious, report it immediately to protect our ecosystems.
