Some days I feel like I’m the only person in the World who loves yellow
jackets. I’ve played with them so much over the years without ever really
being stung by them. Unless you bother their nest or try to kill them: they
aren’t very likely to attack you. I’ve had hundreds to thousands of yellow
jackets land on me without stinging a single time (not all at once,
obviously). They are beautiful to regard up close in all their glory.

I have only two colonies. That’s enough to cover a couples thousands acres
of pollination.
On the subject of raiding, I experienced that the first year into
beekeeping, 1999. When a bumblebee or yellow jacket came to the entrance,
the worker bees viciously pile out onto the bottom board attacking the
intruder. In 70% if cases that I watched, the intruder did not escape
alive.

I admire men and women who work their land. I live in my back yard. I’m
having my best bee year ever. Two very strong hives and its still late
June. Thank you for another great vid.

The resident honey bees prevailed against the wasps and other bees. Two
years later, their hive is among my strongest and most productive.

Yes, it’s normally much larger, but was reduced so they could defend their
hive better. Later, it was wide open once hive reached full strength.

Thanks for the comment! I have several bee videos… my favorite is the
slow motion sequence of honey bees arriving with pollen and nectar…

As of today… I have two of five hives still going. Insecticide treated
corn may also have contributed to the losses… one of the two remaining
colonies is now fighting off hornets and losing a lot of workers/defenders
in the process, so I may soon be down to just one surviving colony as we go
into winter. The hornets seem capable of flight at lower temps than the
honey bees… another advantage…
