Yellow Jacket Nest

On 17 June 2003, I pulled up a shovel of dirt and saw that there was a yellow jacket nest full of live and surprised yellow jackets. I was surprised, too.  After I ran about 100 yards (and did not get stung), I began to plan how to take photos of the nest.  I returned later and took pictures.

The nest is at the tip of the shovel.  Note the two levels.
