I’m so glad it wasn’t worse!!! I hate pain for kids!As it turns out thank God it wasn't the bald face hornets my son saw earlier but it was yellow jackets. He still has a few stingers in him but he's bouncing back. He even had one on his eye. My son was running with him, picking them off of him and trying to smash them all at the same time. The father of the child was also being attacked at the same time. It was crazy.?

We haven't had a Jess update in a while. I assume she's getting along pretty well?Good morning & happy Monday! Jess, Cinder, and I are south bound to Houston to see the surgery specialist.. it’s time to see what the next step is for Jess. its a little over a 4 hr drive for us…
She’s doing great emotionally.. things are just at a stand still physically. She’s been doing her therapy twice a week and she has regained some sensations and a bit of “flex“ movement .. but her arm and hand are still not functional.. :-(. hopefully we will know more today.. We have arrived!!We haven't had a Jess update in a while. I assume she's getting along pretty well?

And Cinder well...ur right she does her job right ?She’s doing great emotionally.. things are just at a stand still physically.

Those bald face hornet's are nasty. We always waited till winter time in Michigan to mess with the hive.As it turns out thank God it wasn't the bald face hornets my son saw earlier but it was yellow jackets.

I don't think they've found the hives yet. But also they don't reuse them. We started reading up when my son saw them. There is a way to discourage them from coming around the gazebo and house though and it's a crazy thing. If you use brown paper bags as fake nests and hang them it discourages them from coming around. Also some other things. Those crazy bugs can actually remember people's faces. I'm so glad that poor little guy didn't get stung by them. Yellow jackets are bad too but not as bad as those.Those bald face hornet's are nasty.

You can actually buy fake wasps nests to deter them from areas they are not welcome, I have one. The wasps think others have beaten them to it so move on.I don't think they've found the hives yet.

That's how we feel. The jellow jackets nest however is gone. It was near the gazebo in the ground. I also read that peppermint and other mints deter them so planting mint around the gazebo would accomplish 2 things. Peppermint tea is a favorite of my family. I'll tell Terry about the fake nests.?You can actually buy fake wasps nests to deter them from areas they are not welcome, I have one. The wasps think others have beaten them to it so move on.
I couldn't kill them as they are all valuable pollinators but you don't want their nests near people and those fake nests seem to work well.
You might have said this, but I missed the ID.I'm going to try and post a picture of a moth caterpillar on the same property. I think it's really pretty. That took a while to figure out how to post it.?View attachment 331015
