<br><strong>Not very many berries on the mountain ash this year, so I was hoping for a mild winter. However, the yellow jackets are insane this year. Never have I seen so many nests and I don 't remember them being so nasty past summers. Got stung numerous times and chased into the house last week.</strong><BR><strong></strong> <BR><strong>Ellen A.

We've had lots of yellow jackets lately. Luckily, I found three big nests before they found me. Only one sting so far.<br>

Yesterday I was clearing out some dead bushes and trees from the bank behind the house. I ran in to a nest of yellow jackets.By the time I made it to the house I had about 12 to 13 stings. Six or so came in the house with me. I had a few more stings before I killed them. I stayed inside for awhile and watched out the window. The air was full of them. My right eye is still about half closed. I do not remember yellow jacket stings bothering me that much. These must be some hybrid version.<br>
I am not sure where their nest is, so I am done with that project until it gets cold or until next year.<br>
