when I learned they have that their incredible defenses to protect their nests from bears, I understood their behavior better

still hate and fear them, but it makes sense that the weapons required to defend themselves from huge, ravenous creatures covered in thick fur and layers of fat would be overkill against the thin-skinned, (relatively) hairless beings haplessly passing by

Haven't killed a yellow jacket. They're secondary pollinators too, iirc. When they wander into my home, I cup em and let em outside.

The nest is actually in the wall of the house. There's hundreds

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Alright well, I wouldn't know what to do about that to be fair. Best of luck with em.
