Local entomologists are still worried about Murder Hornets- and recently found an Asian giant hornet nest near Whatcom County last week. This nest which was nearly three times the size of the nest eradicated in October 2020.
According to King 5 "Nearly 1,500 hornets in 'various stages of development' were inside the nest, including one queen, 292 eggs, 422 larvae, and 563 cap cells inside the nest. Spichiger described a cap cell as a hornet that is about to be produced. Also, 195 worker hornets were either vacuumed from the nest or captured by a net Wednesday."
