We present a search in IceCube data for neutrino emission from Galactic TeV\ngamma-ray sources detected by the HAWC gamma-ray observatory. HAWC serves as\nthe excellent instrument to complement IceCube with its energy range extending\nto very high energies. Assuming that the highest energy photons originate from\nthe decay of pions, rather than from accelerated leptons, the very high energy\ngamma-rays observed by HAWC are expected to be correlated with neutrinos. Using\neight years of IceCube data, we report on two analyses that investigate a\npossible neutrino--gamma ray correlation. The first is a stacked analysis of\nidentified HAWC point sources and the second is a template method which\naccounts for the full morphology of HAWC sources, including their measured\nextension.\n
