Hornets are not my friends. They sting. It really hurts. They should know it's wintertime and forget the rotting fruit and go away. It's cold where I am but on a day when the sun is shining and it get a bit warmer especially near the bricks on the house, they think they can come around. And they are slow....dopey....and that's when they like to sting. Bumble bees...okay :)
Beautiful pictures by the way.....I just do not like hornets....do you think I have been stung a time or three?
