What zone are you in?
Zone 7a
First ‘ground bee’ aka yellow jacket nest of the season discovered yesterday by mom. She was pulling up old money plants. She got stung once - lucky, because when I had her show me where the nest was, there were at least 20 angry bees milling around. It looked like she had messed up the entrance hole, but the bees will open it back up.
Well after dark, I got my headlamp & a flashlight out & went looking for the nest hole. It took a few minutes to spot it. There was one guard bee I had to look out for. The nest is no more. Mom will have to watch out for any guard bees that were out of the nest - I saw only the one, but usually it’s 2-3. They’ll leave after hanging around a day or two. It’s that time of year when ground bee nests tend to be discovered - my brother had one to deal with tonight as well.
