And, I don't mean a car made by Hudson
I have multiple hornet nests in the flower garden in front of my front porch. They are in the ground, and don't seem to be doing anything to the plants. At last count there were 12 nests. I don't mind them being there in general, but they do dig up a good pile of dirt making their nest.
These dudes are large, about 1.5" long, or about twice the size of a bumble bee. They seem to be docile; they fly up to you, look you over and then continue on their way. I found a dead one on the patio. I think he ran into the window and didn't survive.
I found a website that calls them the "gentle giants" of the wasp family. They claim that the hornet never stings when it is away from its nest, but only to defend its nest. I am not going to test that claim....
So, my question to this erudite body is: what should I do with/about them
