Confessions of a Yellowjacket Haver
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2014 8:23 am
I don't think I will be successful at over wintering my yellowjackets this year. About 3 weeks ago, I happened to see a queen emerge from the nest and fly off to attempt to find a winter location. She is much larger than the worker in the picture.

This is the time of year when varmints (yes, I looked up the spelling) dig up the nests, and this happened before I could take any protective action. I'm no longer seeing yellowjackets feeding beside my honey bees at my external feeder of honey water.
