Bee Nest Advice

[Hawkeye OG]

This seems like it should be right up @Urblock alley

So I have this young tree I planted two years ago. Took my hose over to it and laid it at the tree line and left it for 20 min. Come back to move it and started spraying the mulch I have laid around it to keep the soil nice and moist on these hot days. Bee's (I think I've identified them as yellow jackets) start flying out of the corrugated pipe I have around the trunk to protect it from rabbits. I of course got stung. But now I don't know wtf to do. I've taken down wasp nests before under my deck, but I can't spray this one with pesticide at the base of my trunk.

I'm not really concerned about them, but I am concerned they will kill my tree. Do I just leave them until winter and curb stomp the nest when they're gone? Do I run out there kamikaze style with the hose and drown them as quick as possible?

Please help

Start videoing them with your phone, and ridicule them for not wearing masks. Maybe they will freak out, and get canceled.

Do bees generally kill tees?

I have no idea. I've read miscellaneous things on the interwebz but it all pertains to old trees.

1 part soap (dish soap), 3 parts hot water. There are usually two holes in ground nests. Find them, pour the solution down them, and cover with dirt.

They are beneficial, even yellow jackets. Pollinators, and killers of other less beneficial pests. If you can avoid, and live with it without any hassle to you or your wife, I'd leave it be. They won't harm the tree, and will only be there until the end of the season.

Are they bees or wasps?

 

[Xuder O'Clam]

Yellow jackets are wasps, but still pollinators, and killers of chit tier bugs.
