🎥 Georgia Hornet Files, Episode 3: Go on-site with the Plant Protection team and learn about YLH nest-building behavior.

Yellow-Legged Hornets actively work to build secondary nests from August to October. Now, entering cooler months, the nests will be at their final size as the hornets begin to reproduce.

Be on the lookout for large secondary nests like the one shown here, both high in trees or other structures and lower to the ground.

If you spot a suspected Yellow-Legged Hornet nest, report it immediately using this form: https://bit.ly/YLHReport

Your report can help our team respond quickly, protecting Georgia’s agriculture and pollinators.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s summit a success!

Each year, Governor Brian Kemp recognizes the Georgia Department of Administrative Services Fleet Team and the dedicated professionals who keep state agencies moving behind the scenes.

This year, our very own Erica Payne was among a select group of State Agency Fleet Administrators invited. Erica was also recognized by Jazzmin Randall, Director of Fleet Management for DOAS, for her extensive knowledge and expertise, sharing that she often refers others to Erica when she doesn't have the answer.

We are proud to see Erica's hard work and dedication representing the Georgia Department of Agriculture! Congratulations, Erica!
