A cantaloupe sized yellow jacket nest was found under the neighbor's pool bench and boy-o-boy was there a flurry of activity in and around it!
Of course it couldn't be in a worse location. These dudes are a mean bunch on a good day when they're not being bothered. Stir them up, even by accident, and watch out! To boot the neighbor is allergic to bees SO this dude had to go.
Once night-fall set in and the bees went to bed, and we finished our beer, we put our plan in motion. After everyone was moved off to a safe distance, two of us went over; one with a black plastic bad and one with a light, and simply put the bag around the hive, while the other knocked it off into the bag. A nice tight knot and we had ourselves a stirred up bag-o-bees a buzzing away!
Success! Beers all around!
