You have to be careful this time of year. That's when the nests get huge. I've had three major attacks in my line of work. All in the fall. In two , I was stung in the teens and twenties. One in the hundreds.

Was just outside sweeping off the porch in shorts and a t-shirt and it felt great. Nice and chilly! Perfect for late August! On the other hand weather pattern is extremely boring. Real snooze fest.

Just did a quick look up of yellow jackets and I had no idea their hive can have thousands in it. I'm always extra careful doing yard work. No problems yet (knocks wood).

Poor AHATT. What thumping they took after July.

Lots more males in the fall which are smaller than the females and of course the queen.

I think we have them all by now. Confirmed nests of the southern in Western Mass. Not sure how they can possibly be more aggressive than the eastern or German. They all suck.

Are any of these Southern Yellowjackets? I've been seeing much smaller ones lately, usually they're Eastern or German and those are larger? I'm not really sure.

I could take a whiff until December easily.

56 now; progged low of 46… extra blankets for the kids with the windows wide open.

Just got home from work. Had a beautiful high of just 70 degrees with a current temp of 58. Have some clouds so not sure how quickly we fall tonight.

0.09 in the status today for 0.15" MTD. Kinda hoping for a whiff Friday.

At least they've stopped blaming it on the bees. Nope, it's f****** yellow jackets. " Yellowjackets stung dozens of students on the first day of school in Ashland, Massachusetts Wednesday, the superintendent said. As children got off the bus at David Mindess Elementary School just after 9 a.m., someone or something disturbed an underground nest near the end of the bus loop. Ashland Superintendent Jim Adams told WBZ-TV "around 40 students" and two staff members were stung.
