I did find a dead one under the nest. It kind of looks like a yellow jacket but smaller. I guess if they don't cause an issue they can stay. Nest is still getting larger. I guess since they don't make honey the nest is a one season deal. There were a few "starter" nests around when we bought the house. I wonder if the PO bug bombed them before they got big. They were in the same area. Been here 5 years and this is the first one.
