BLAINE, Wash — Scientists removed 98 Giant Asian hornets from a nest discovered at the Canadian border in Blaine, Washington over the weekend, including 13 that were captured live in a net.

The state Department of Agriculture said they suspect there might be more nests in our state, and will continue efforts to eradicate them.

The agency says 85 hornets were vacuumed into a special container when the first nest discovered on U.S. soil was eradicated on Saturday.

While the hornets have been known to kill people in Asia, officials in the United States are primarily concerned they will destroy honeybee populations that are needed to pollinate crops.
