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

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!

Hoo-boy! If he even blink, he is so dead!

Good excuse to quietly meditate.

He’s got a bad case of hive(s).

Might become a nesting doll.

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…

At least it’s swarm out.

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

Heard of “Pumpkin Head” but “Wasp Head” is a new one…

He’s got a bee in his bonnet.

So are they paper wasps or mud daubers?

How long has he been sitting there?

Great story, LeslieBark, thanks!
