Join us as we discuss two newer pests that will change beekeeping! Program Director Mike Pastore will discuss the Yellow-legged hornet, which is slowly moving its way north. It's currently in South Carolina. He will also have a Yellow-legged hornet trap for demonstration. Secretary Mallory White will discuss the Spotted Lanternfly, which we first experienced last year and expect to be everywhere again this summer!
