U.S. officials have successfully eradicated the invasive "murder hornet" from Washington state.

The "murder hornet," or northern giant hornet, has been successfully eradicated from the United States, particularly in Washington state, after first being detected in 2019. This invasive species, known for its ability to devastate honey bee populations, was eliminated through a combination of trapping, public reporting, and nest destruction. Despite the eradication, officials will continue to monitor for any signs of return.
