it is <30’ from the coop, in a spot where the birds all love to forage and have dust baths
it’s also about 6’ away from where they were when they attacked me two years ago 😔 I am scared to be outside again, thank you, PTSD. I was doing so well, and it’s not even supposed to top 80° today so I had big plans to do a bunch of work out there, and now I’m cowering in my house.
the entire reason we got the guineas these fuckers was to help with bugs generally but keep hornet nests away from the house specifically
contemplating some incredibly foolish shit, like trying to get an open bag of treats over there by the hole so the guineas will congregate - maybe I can use a fishing pole to drop it over there or something, idfk
even after we get rid of this nest, idk what I’m going to do. be afraid all summer again, I guess 🫠
This is what happens when you touch grass. Never Log Off.
Outside: Scary hornets, sun, ticks, rabies, brain eating amebas.
Inside: Cozy blankets, snuggly pets, colorful lighting, squishy pillows, air conditioning.
I know what I choose

Posting is better anyway!!
You might be able to calm them down enough with a bee smoker to try something to get your birds snacking on them?
Edit: attempted to rephrase for clarity. Oh, and if you’re buying a smoker from a beekeeping supplier, may as well pick up a veil. Loose fitting coveralls tucked into gloves and boots can help with bee stings - no idea about your hornets.
