Joe discovered a very busy yellow jacket nest in the hell strip (between sidewalk and curb) in front of our house this week. He set up a tripod, zoomed in and recorded a little of the action. Press play and enjoy the fact that these nasty creatures are not buzzing around your yard! Spraying with the aim of eradication planned soon.
