It is going to get up to about 78 but when I woke up this morning it was only in the mid sixties in the house and only 46 outside. With the blood thinners I get cold fairly easily. When I got up I popped the thermostat up to 73 for about 20 minutes to take the chill off and when I took the dog out I wore my winter jacket.
My neighbor and I waited until after dark last night and then went across the road to where the yellow jacket nest was located in a golf ball sized hole at the base of a walnut tree. I poured a planter's peanut jar full of gasoline down the hole, waited a few seconds and threw a match in it. Between the gas and the nest material we had a little tiki torch like flame burning from the hole for about 20 minutes before it finally burned out. I was just over there to check things out and kicked dirt over the hole and tamped it in. No bees.
