Pain, swelling and an oath that all of them and all their babies will die.

Consider yourself fortunate that you don't live in Alabama.

Massive wasp nests as big as a car are appearing in Alabama (again)

(CNN)Scientists issued a buzzworthy warning to Alabama residents: thousands of wasps are making the state home in what are called perennial yellow jacket nests. And they are freaky.
In 2006, a colony of 15,000 yellow jackets -- the size of a Volkswagen Beetle -- was one of 90 perennial nests located in Alabama that year. Entomologist Charles Ray said something like this may happen again in 2019.
