Ten Foot Long Yellow Jacket Nest in Camper!!

Maybe these folks should go camping just a little more often and not leave their rig in storage for so long.

  • Do a search for "yellow jackets in attic" these guys can build some impressive nests in homes and be very agressive when found. The finder was very lucky

    Both articles used those words interchangeably - the reporters need to go back to Biology 101. That forklift driver is a lucky guy - 350,000 peeved wasps could have killed him.


    I'm pretty sure they were actually bees, not wasps. Yellow jacket wasps would have a nest a fraction of that size and usually they are seasonal.

    Drama and a lack of research are at the heart of that article.

  • That was something. Must have been sitting in storage a few years.
    I haven't seen any yellow jacket nest above ground around here. Did see a whole wall, of a country church, full, of bees and honey running out between the boards. It is now a barber shop.
