Recently, news outlets have been spreading fear of the “murder hornet” invading the United States. To be clear, the “murder hornet”, actually known as the Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), does not pose a […]

Thank you for reading! So glad you were able to learn from our post! 🙂

You’re right, European honey bees may not be able to handle the hornet so yes, I would be concerned if the hornet spreads. For now, sightings have been isolated and the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) is on the hunt so no need to panic. While it is more difficult to manage honey bees than in the past and beekeepers have many factors to to deal with, colony collapse disorder actually has not been reported since 2012. To help bees in general, plant diverse native flowers with diverse bloom times, this ensures bees have food through their active season. The Pollinator Partnership has some great regional pollinator-friendly planting guides. To help with eradicating the hornet, familiarize yourself with what it looks like and if you see it, report it to WSDA: https://www.maps.arcgis.com/apps/GeoForm/index.html?appid=e3720c303c414210967920b07bad13f5

Thanks for your inquiry. It’s likely an eastern cicada killer wasp. Check out our new blog post to learn more about these fascinating creatures: https://sites.tufts.edu/pollinators/2020/08/no-you-didnt-just-find-a-murder-hornet/

Our pleasure! And you’re right, there are no Asian giant hornets on the east coast. We’re glad you found our blog post helpful.
-
The asian giant hornet is not on the east coast. Photos are sufficient for identification, if you’re curious, and can be sent to us at tuftspollinators@gmail.com for ID.

This is not true! Asian giant hornets are predators of honey bees, not people or pets.
