Happiness is finding a yellow jacket nest just inches from your front door...

And wiping that mother****er out single-handedly with nary a problem.

Victory is mine!

Whoopee.

So the dork kills a bunch of innocent little bees, and that makes the dork a man, a he-man, a real man.

1. So, how did you do it?

Bug killer, drowning, fire, honey and a skunk?

2. I lucked out, as it was cool this morning and they were lethargic

I knocked down the nest with a stick and came back and hit it with a bucket of soapy water. I took out the stragglers with a broom. After that I crushed the nest.

I was stung by yellow jackets as a child, so I was very careful to not be around when the nest hit the ground.

6. I don't like killing living things but my sorrow doesn't extend to executing yellow jackets and wasps.

I, too, was stung as a child by yellow jackets (once it was whole nest of them and I was covered in stings).

Another particularly vile pest we have in my area are white-faced bees, who make their nests in the ground.

They are, if possible, even more nasty than yellow jackets and wasps.

I co-exist peacefully with honeybees and bumblebees, though.

12. I tangled with bald faced hornets once. Nasty mother****ers.

3. I haven't been outside yet, but it looks nice.

More my kind of weather.

I want to try the "honey and a skunk" method if I find any of the underground yellow jacket nests this year.

You pour about a cup of honey down the hole and around it at dusk. In the night, wandering animals such as raccoons, skunks, or opossums find it, and will tear apart the nest and eat the wasps. A lot of people say it works.

5. This one was attached to the corner of my living room window

I doubt if honey and skunkin' it would have done me any good.

10. Beats my story of deciding to put up gutters on the back porch and after a few hammer strokes finding out there is a wasp nest hidden under the eaves that does not care for hammering....

haven't run that fast since high school track

11. Every year I read about some idiot who decides to take out a wasp nest...

With a home-made flamethrower, made out of a can of hairspray and a lighter.

You got it, they burn down the house.

Those weren't yellow jackets, those were guinea wasp. Yellow jackets build in the ground. If I had a dollar for everytime I've been stung by yellow jackets, I could probably finance half of Mitt's campaign by myself.

A clear, guaranteed bouncy tale.

Nutcase DUmmy Lamond is trying to imply he lives in a place frequented by bees and wasps.

If DUmmy Lamond found a nest of insects around his abode, they were roaches.

This,yellow jackets are also known as ground hornets.
It was a wasp nest of some kind,poor Lamond is too stupid to know the difference.

I don't hang out long enough to identify the make and model of any of those buggers.

 Big fat honey bees I can live with, most come here from a Bee Keeper a few miles away and too busy collecting pollen to attack anyone  or thing.     One thing I found out from the old man that sells the honey beside the road is with this stuff, the lighter the stuff the fresher it is.   Not that it matters, honey keeps forever a few thousand years in fact.

Perhaps Nads can answer my question here, in the 1930 an expression to denote something good was--It's the Bees Knees---- where did that come from.   We know Bees have breasts but knees ??????   You know Boobies.

I'm somewhat surprised that they're not holding a candlelight vigil and group hug to mourn the deaths of a colony of brave and noble squishy-bug-things.

Beat me to it.  I killed a colony once by pouring a gallon of gas down the entrance.  Early in the morning I poured it down and ran as fast as I could. About 10 feet into my run, I felt the ground rumble for a few seconds and then get quiet. That was the end of the meat bee tyranny at our house.

Is there anything the DUches are not lying about?

Free hint for the DUcheas; when around meat bees always give your beer/soda/juice can a whack with your finger. If it starts to vibrate, put it down and get a new one.

I road a stationary bike that ran the centrifuge in a drum to spin the honey out of the comb when I was young.  Then one of the other grandkids got old enough to ride the bike and I graduated to harvesting from the nests.  Nothing tastes like the honey that has just passed through the filter and is running out of the drum.  Grandpa's house was awesome.

Like maple syrup heat it up pour on fresh snow and dig in ,Yummy.  Like peanut brittle without the nuts.

IIRC it was during the Civil War that the doctors began to use honey on wounds, burns etc. Honey was one of the few medicens that outside sulphur was used to stop or prevent infection.

Possibly the worlds most perfect natural product.   Good inside and out of the body.

Well between the two of us, we could finance the entire campaign.
