The nest is in a very central and unavoidable place on a neighbor's
property.
I'm trying to get information to learn (a) what species these are, and
(b) if
there's a way to avoid destroying them. (As much as I hate the thought
of
killing bees, these may in fact be best removed from the gene pool for
nesting
is such a silly spot as the edge of a front walk.)
They are probably Yellow Jackets (wasps) rather than
bees. With their size and coloration they are commonly
mistaken for bees and they can get more aggressive
towards the end of Summer

They aren't yellow jackets, nor any sort of wasp I've ever seen. I've gardened
for years and have seen enough yellow jackets to make that distinction. I wish
they were, because then I'd be able to advise my neighbors to get them zapped.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out a more conservative approach, because,
fortunately, no one has become hysterical......yet!
Thanks for a very logical suggestion....I wish it were so.
Carol
