Yellowjacket and its Nest

Lots of happenings since Saturday then Sunday, the weather we had was kind of gorgeous not to let it be known. My husband cleared his workshop, re-arrange some of his work tools there and transfered some heavy equipment from the garage to the workshop. The small shed are for garden tools and some plastic bins are then stored in there. I'm glad that I was able to get rid of those yellowjackets nests. I think told you that before but then my computer's acting up and can't download the photos, so here the photos again.


 Look at how meticulously those yellowjackets built their home. They are similar to bees except that they don't produce honey.

 The nests looked soft, crumbly and delicate.

The nests are empty. I wonder where the yellowjackets are? At summer time, those yellowjackets were such a pest and I was afraid to get inside the shed because all those nests were attached to the upper part of the walls up to the ceiling of the garden tools shed. There are hundreds of them. I don't think those yellowjackets will come back without those nests. But you know, those insects are clever enough to build nests again in other parts of the garden. Who knows?

What yellowjacket looks like?
And you think it was a bee?
