My day has been unlike many I have ever had in my life. I went to bed last night after covering a ground bee hole with dirt surrounded by large stones. When I woke up, a stone was overturned (bees did not do it, nor my kids and I doubt my cat did) no logical explanation. I got to work and things have just been crazy since. It just feels really off and all I can think of is the scary large Full Moon back on Wednesday and CERN. Anyone else having a rather odd day?

Yeah and they also sting people. If you have small children that don’t know how to defend themselves, you need to get rid of the predators. Period.
Personally I’m not afraid of bees, they don’t bother me, and when they come around me I ask nicely for them to leave, and they do.
But if I had small children, and I found a yellow jacket nest in the ground in my yard, you bet I’d get rid of them. All the kids would have to do is step on that nest once, and they would come out attacking the children. Since they nest underground, that could easily happen.
I can’t imagine somebody doing anything different than that. Unless they didn’t hold their children valuable to them. And on this forum, I am sure that 100% of the people here would put their children first.
I'd say your imagination is severely limited. You can't imagine a parent who loves their child more than anything teaching them to not step on a yellowjacket hive or whatever species she was talking about. As that kind of a parent I find that annoying. I've said all I need to about this topic.
The person in question who has those children has mentioned numerous times that they’re not old enough to know better. They’re probably toddlers, maybe 2 to 3 years old. Kids that are running through the yard, digging in the dirt, and just playing, don’t understand the dangers of or understanding of yellow jacket nests in the ground. Grow up! That’s the whole idea right, that kids have a chance to grow up. Here’s something somebody else posted.
Yellow jackets can be dangerous. A child that has never had a bee sting can die from stepping on a yellow jacket ground nest.
For the record yes children are more important than yellow jackets. You sound like a liberal.
I can't believe you think the discussion is about which is more important to a parent, their child or some bees in the yard. I really don't want to talk to you about this. Please don't reply to me directly on this thread again.
I got lit up as a child running around in the woods. Not fun, I didn’t scope the place out before deciding to run.
