Bees!

Yellowjackets to be specific. I hate bees.

Here's the deal, I went out this morning to get started on the A/C on the 300E. I noticed a yellowjacket crawl under the hood on the 300CD project I've got, so I opened the hood, and saw the nest. It was about the size of my hand. I hate bees. No problem, shot a few of them with brake clean, it wasn't really doing the best job so I went inside and got the wasp/hornet killer. I soaked the nest like it said and killed about 15-20 of the little bastards. I still couldnt start on the 300E (parked parallel to the 300CD) beacuse there were still 5 or 6 of them flying around, and call me paranoid, but I wasn't about to work with them flying that close to me. Did I mention I hate bees?

So I go inside and come back out after a few hours and holy crap there has got to be 50 of the suckers flying crazily all over the g.d. place! I can't get to any of the cars in the driveway, and they're swarming round the roof line of my house and front porch as well! I hate bees!!!

Is it best to wait untill the evening when their activity dies down a little and try to get rid of the nest from the car? I don't quite have a fear of bees but I sure as hell don't wish to be stung by that many of them. I've wandered into my fair share of wasp/yellowjacket/etc nests in the past, so luckily I don't have an allergy to them.

I'm about 1/4th the age of my father, and I've already been stung more in my lifetime than he has. I think I'm up somewhere in the 200-250 range.

I HATE BEES! help!
