When I lived in Oregon I quickly learned to NOT antagonize yellow jackets—they are aggressive, can sting you multiple times, and their stings REALLY hurt. So one day I was sitting on my porch eating a hamburger when a yellow jacket landed on my hand. I froze, of course, but the little carnivore just grabbed a pea-sized bit of meat from my sandwich and flew off. I breathed a sigh of relief, and went on enjoying my sandwich … until that yellow jacket came back … along with a bunch of her sisters, all focusing on my sandwich. I finished my lunch inside my house!
One way to deal with a hornet’s nest is to use a drone: fly over to the nest and lightly tap it with a rotor blade. The rest will come out ready to fight and the blades chop them up…

How long does it take to make lemonade? Is it freshly squeezed, or what?

At least it’s swarm out.

I still say the “beehive” look is better for short women.

So are they paper wasps or mud daubers?
