        Aloha,

        There was some great info about paper wasps a bit ago - can anyone
provide similar info for yellowjackets?  I appear to have a nest of
ground-dwelling yellowjackets under a fallen post next to a garden bed.  Are
they omnivorous pest predators like the paper wasps?  What might make them
aggressive (they seem mellow enough so far...as long as I don't stomp around
right near their doorway...)?  Any other pros and cons?

        Thanks,
        John Schinnerer
