Thanks for the clarification, Brian. I'm very happy I don't have to deal with those.

That sounds really frightening, Brian. I'm glad I don't

with those. Are they really yellow jackets, or are the
some form of
hornet? What you describe sounds more like what we refer
to as a hornet
nest.

Jim,
there are no hornets in New Zealand.
The two wasp species that build
colonies/nests here are both species of the European Vespula genus.
They
are a real pest. Quote from the NZ Encyclopedia
"The worst two are of
European origin, the black-and-yellow German and common wasps (VESPULA
GERMANICA and VESPULA vulgaris respectively), which attack and sting to
defend their huge nests. Both species, especially the common wasp, have
invaded native forest - KAURI forests in the north and BEECH FORESTS in
the south.Sep 24, 2007"
