They say these hornets are very aggressive, and sensitive to any disturbance, even the vibrations from a lawn mower. Hundreds of hornets can live in these nests. They will all die in six weeks or less, except for a few queens who will overwinter and start a new nest next year. In the meantime, I will make a big detour.
