Ah, paper wasps, yellowjackets...just be happy you don't have these flying around...

Check out the videos. I still get nightmares about these guys.

I hate wasps/hornets. Bees I don't mind. Every spring I patrol my property like a paranoid sentry, looking under eaves, deck, etc. You can usually get a jump on them by killing a queen as she tries to start building her nest, esp. with bald faced hornets. Ba$tards all of them!

The worst is in the fall, when they feed on fermenting fruit and become drunk! Anyone else ever notice how wasps/hornets act 'stupid' in the later summer/early fall? When I used to do roofing, I'd hate the late summer for this very reason. Nothing like hanging on the edge of a steep roof and being swarmed by clouds of drunk, stinging wasps.
