I'm on the schlotthauer train. Sent it to my firewood customers as a public service. Folks need to be prepared with the essentials. Watch starting at the 19-minute mark. Combo James/George.
Bald-Faced Hornet (2.0)
Schmidt describes this sting, which can throb for almost five minutes before subsiding, as “rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.”
Yeah they're still around. Took care of three nests a week or so ago. Not sure the nests are as large as most years.
This however is large. Noticed it today. Bald-faced nest in the wood. Judging by the traffic it's a doozy.
Never seen so many small deer. I wonder if it was the warm winter last year? Took down this tree and by the time I got back there were four skippers munching on the collateral damage.
