Hello,

Are these hornets or yellow-jackets?  I have a nest of yellow-jackets in the mulch under a currant bush, and boy are they aggressive when you mow near them.

Do hornets make nests in the ground, or in mulch?

I was mowing the other day and got stung.  Luckily, I had my fruit tree spray with me and I sprayed the cloud of insects clustered near the ground with it.  I have not been back to see the results.

For a small insect, yellow-jackets have a strong bite.

Lots of rain in SW Ontario.  My rain gauge indicates 2" this past week.

Later,
Tom
