Friggin hornets and wasps are killing me this year. Is anyone else having a problem with them too? I was out stacking another row of oak today and wanted to see how some of my previous rows were seasoning up, so I went to the first row I built and was randomly checking splits. I must've stirred them up when I plopped the split back down, because when I did, I heard the sound of wings trying to get out of a tight space. I look up and there are about 5 or 6 hovering near the nest a couple feet away from me. Before I even had time to think "oh s--t", I got hit with a bite on my leg. So I go running like a lunatic away from there slapping myself trying to make sure there were no more on me. I waited until it was night and went back out there with a can of black flag and a flashlight and hosed the nest. I'm so paranoid now I'm almost thinking about keeping a can of that stuff nearby every time I go near my old rows. That thing bit me at around 7 at night, and here it is past 3:30 in the morning and it still smarts. The hornets were those ones that looked like they're either a dark navy blue, or black color, with white on their ass.
