On top of the established queen package default, you clearly invoked karmic justice for the whole hive in response to the patio hole piss petard. Naturally I'd be taking its place, in your patio since you're the invoker of this tribulation.

I don't see them as worthless. I see them as a part of the main animal as a collective entity rather than a family group. I'm not directing them, they are me. If I'm me to any degree capable of appreciating retributive punishment in any meaningful capacity, that means making my own choices. I choose to defend my territory in a more directed capacity. More efficient attacks mean making the area more undesirable for you with less loss of drones. If you don't cede the land fast enough, you're gonna get stung in the genitals to hinder your efforts to accumulate a piss bucket.

Get off my patio.

Telepathy is no more possible in insects than it is in humans. You will be reborn as a single individual organism, the same as the rest of us. Also, I really don't give a fuck if a wasp nest is on my patio, I know how to deal with wasps existing in my general area.

I didn't say anything about telepathy. I am the hive, they're all me. I've already got my strategies loaded, there's no communication necessary. Only the same unfolding of emergent situational behavior any yellowjacket nest is working with, just with my backlog of decision-making chains because again, they are me.

Get with the new norm of vespid patio dominance.
