I have a problem. I have a war going on in the back yard. There is a bald face hornet nest 50 or more feet up in my oak tree above my back patio.
Normally, as I have for the last few years, I would live and let live, but the acorns are dropping and each time the nest gets hit, they swarm. To make matters worse there is another a yellow jacket nest somewhere nearby that is at war with them. I find both species of stingers dead under the nest, but can't tell where the yellow jackets are coming from or I would kill them as the bald faces never have bothered me... I've even had a few land and calmly explore my arms before. But, the last time I mowed I was angerly confronted by both kinds and I DO NOT KNOW if i am allergic.
Time to fight them.
I'd like to have fun with this and and let loose on them, but firearms are out of the question... maybe an BB or airsoft, but i only have metal BB guns and I live in a neighborhood, and I don't know if it plastic will reach.
How would you tackle this in a fun and creative way?
THIS IS TAKEN FREE-HAND WITH A NIKON P100 @ FULL 26X OPTICAL ZOOM. I love this camera.
