Today's Excitement

As you can see there is a odd shaped paper ball object hanging in the bush. It may not look very large but it is larger than a cantaloupe. Well I went to investigate and found it to be paper wasps. I just read about them online and they are "Very Aggressive" so i figured i needed to rid the nest from our yard. I took a green pale and placed it underneath the nest then tried to knock the nest out of the bush into the bucket but was very surprised how strong paper is. The bottom half of the nest fell into the bucket where the wasps decided they liked it better and have not left it. You will see in the pictures that they are not very friendly and WILL defend their home.

We had bees in a bush in our front yard last month. We ended up calling the city and they send someone out for free to take care of it. Just FYI!
