Those would have been ground yellow jackets, hornets build paper nests up high. Ground yellow jackets are about the meanest insects around. We have had them kill several people around here, usually by crawling into a can of pop then stinging the person in the throat when they drink it. I always drink canned drinks by straining it through my teeth when outside for that reason. Best way to get rid of them is to pour gasoline into the hole and light it. Actually both holes, they almost always have a back entrance which I found out the first time I tried it. Marshall -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
