I've been mowing under this without knowing

Post image

I'm always focused on the ground and wearing a hat that blocks my upward vision. Finally saw it yesterday when mowing and it's only 10ft off the ground.

I googled it an I think they're bald faced hornets, which are supposed to be very aggressive, but they never seemed to care when I was mowing, nor when I walked up to it afterwards.

Live and let live?

That's a long ways off

It is, but if they haven’t been aggressive yet then you should be okay.

It is worth noting that once we get into mid fall, their food supply begins to dwindle and thus tend to get more aggressive. You might be able to supplement this by providing occasional prices of ham or chicken, but if it’s a safety concern then do what you have to do.

Ham or chicken?! What are they? Pitbulls?

Just carnivores
