The fire department later clarified that the stings were from yellowjackets" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been seeing much smaller ones lately, usually they're Eastern or German and those are larger? I'm not really sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots more males in the fall which are smaller than the females and of course the queen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" 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. 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). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in the fall. In two , I was stung in the teens and twenties. One in the hundreds. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
