Just after 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Barry Hart was working in his bee yard in deep South Georgia when his phone buzzed with a text message from a fellow beekeeper.
It was a link to a Georgia Department of Agriculture news release with a troubling subject line:"Discovery of yellow-leggedHart, who owns Hart Honey Farms in Fargo, has been in the honeybee business since the mid-80s. When he read it, he said he got out of his truck and thought,"Well, this could be the nail in the coffin right here."
Only two live specimens have been found, both on the same property near Savannah. The GDA says it is working diligently to track and eradicate the insects. So far, no colonies have been located. Hart, who maintains 5,000 hives on land just north of the Georgia-Florida border, trucks his bees as far away as the almond orchards of California. Beekeepers have been battling pests and parasites for years, he said, wondering how much more they can take.
While yellow-legged hornets attack and feed on bees, one of their favorite foods is rotting fish. Delaplane, the GDA and others are developing plans to put out feeding stations stocked with fish or other putrid meat. When the hornets come to feed, spotters can track them visually as long as possible and then move the stations to where they were last seen. Eventually, that should allow them to find the nest's location.
It's possible Georgia's fight against the hornets' invasion has the same trajectory. But there are also reasons to believe it may not, Delaplane said.
