I've seen lots of bald faced hornets around lately, hunting the buggers.

We have very different feelings about bald faced hornets. I get they're part of insect crowd control, but did you know they'll squirt venom in your eyes?!

How do you even know that -- or should I not ask.

I watch Hornet King on YouTube to wind down before bed (because nothing relaxes you more than watching a man get swarmed by wasps).

Yep! They don't scare me. Awesome pest control and they're pretty docile if you respect their space.

Here's a video of a nest and its residents right next to the driveway from 2023

(Plus a different, bonus yellowjacket toward the end)

You are out of your mind. I don't care how cute it looks pulsating on a flower!

That's a great video and what an impressive nest. Kudos to you for not destroying it.
