So. Not here yet. There have been sightings along zero avenue near the border with Washington State. Efforts are being made to track any sightings and eradicate nests if found.

If you see something this big buzzing around it’s critical that you contact or report to the BC Ministry of Apiculture or the BC Invasive Species council.
