Yellow-Legged Hornet Nest Removed on Delegal Road

The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) recently removed a yellow-legged hornets nest on Delegal Road. GDA now is  monitoring the northend of the island now to see if there is another nest somewhere between Skidaway Farm and Skidaway Institute of Oceanography. Landings residents are asked to remain on the lookout for yellow-legged hornets and report any sightings to yellow.legged.hornet@agr.georgia.gov.
