Not as of the last state meeting in Auburn which we held on 5 February of this year.

PS:  Did have some appear on the west side of Georgia about midway up the state.  Turns out the beekeeper had gone down to central Florida, trapped ten swarms and brought them back to his location in Georgia.   Ended up killing a man.  The state apiarists went in, determined the race of the bees and destroyed all ten colonies.  Wasn't told what happened to the fella what brought them up into Georgia.
