Usually by this time of year, when gardening and doing yard work, I have an encounter with ground wasps. I was working in the rose bed this morning and out they came.
I went and sprayed them with wasp spray, but only got the entrance to the hive. I went a got a pitch fork and pulled the hive up out of the ground, and then took off running. That brought them out. I went back and sprayed the shattered hive, and got stung once by my right elbow.
Gardening is like living: much beauty and enjoyment is to be had if one works hard and smart. Things negative happen along the way, but it is the price worth paying.
And this really was not that big a deal. It happens about once a year.
