Ouch!
Got out in the yard this morning to do some long-delayed dead-heading. I started to weave my new Night Owl rose through its trellis only to discover that's evidently where the hornets/wasps have built their nest this year.
Yep, I had both hands in there. I got stung at least 3 times before I realized what it was....
At least this verifies that I'm not deathly allergic to them.
I took an antihistimine, just to be on the safe side and to keep the swelling down. There is some swelling, and one of the fingers is a markedly redder shade than the others...but I feel well enough to drive out to target to purchase some hornet/wasp spray.
I really don't have anything against them, but I don't see any reason to like wasps either. What exactly are the redeeming qualities of wasps that should make me not kill this colony?
