They're the world's largest hornets and they've been spotted in North America. Jerry talks with University of Georgia entomologist Dr. Nancy Hinkle about the Asian giant hornets, how deadly they really are and the very real risk they pose to honey bees. 

If you live in Georgia and think you've spotted an Asian giant hornet (which, honestly, is very unlikely) you can email a photo to the UGA insect ID specialist, Lisa Ames at [email protected]. Or you can ship an actual specimen to:

Lisa Ames

Dr. Hinkle suggests putting the specimens in just a spoonful of alcohol (any type), placing them in a waterproof container, then placing that inside a ziplock bag (just in case the 'waterproof' container really isn't), then boxing that up for shipment.  Include your name and contact information (cell number, email) so Ms. Ames can let you know the identity. Also, please include your county and the date it was collected.

Sometimes it's the littlest things that can provide the most comfort, especially when you're sharing that comfort with someone who is going through something you've already experienced. Jerry shares some examples of that. Also, a little good news from the past week and Jerry spends a little time talking with his middle grandson, Travis, about one of his new creative outlets, and Instagram account featuring a green skeleton.
