Tom Wachs Channel 6 News Milwk It’s a beautiful day until you get stung by a bald faced hornet! Thankfully only one got me! Sneaky nest. 🤬🤬🤬🐝🐝 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0iWVwkXoAQ0wJy?format=jpg&name=small  @Cherteapet @MeanwhileinCanada When it comes to hornets, you may be wondering about the bald-faced hornet. Most commonly found in the Southeast U.S., 'hornet' is just a nickname for these pests; they're actually wasps, and more specifically, a type of yellowjacket. bald-faced liar   @MeanwhileinCanada That looks like a very cool nest. Best not to touch it, because that’s common sense! After all, wasps will only attack you if you provoke them. So please be gentle.  @MeanwhileinCanada I’m Canada it’s time to impeach Trudeau as he is definitely a major part of Canada’s overall very challenging issues  @MeanwhileinCanada If you spray it with vodka, you can generally take it down and put it into the freezer to kill its stupefied occupants, then admire their handiwork without getting stung. Oh gods, please don't! I have every sphincter tightened as tight as it will go!  I have this theory the wasp nest will be Even More Effective at getting you out of hosting children's birthday parties... @MeanwhileinCanada the only time I’ve ever seen a bald-faced hornet during the day that wasn’t aggressive is when they are chewing on old wood to collect the cellulose they use to make their nests! I did put an active nest right outside our front door to sleep at night once with CO2, knocked the nest into a trash bag, and moved it a mile away. That was scary — I didn’t know how long they would stay groggy! #BaldFacedHornet  Interesting. I was wondering why they are aggressive. We got hornets in our garden (in Europe), too, and I experience them as very gentle albeit curious beings that like to explore and are sometimes almost playful (sitting on finger/hand, taking off, sitting again...). @byteborg @MeanwhileinCanada If you bother them a group will chase you and they can string over and! It was cool to see a solitary one up close completely non-threatened by me. They are similar to Yellowjacket wasps which are a bit smaller and slightly less aggressive and live in nests they build underground. @MeanwhileinCanada "Worst" would depend on if you are doing the hitting, or watching someone else do that bit....  What skills do you learn from a piñata? How to hit something with a stick? This lets you learn that skill and also learn how to run and evade wasps. @MeanwhileinCanada The pinata's not so bad. It's the surprise inside that's a killer.  |
@MeanwhileinCanada pretty!
