Default Beehive in my M3 mirror ROFL

No pics (yet) but there's a good handful of yellow jackets in the housing of the mirror, behind the glass inside the housing. Seems pretty hard to reach and by the time I get positioned on it, they'll come after me.

What to do, what to do.

they will become inactive at night. you should get some wasp spray and saturate the area after it gets dark. a near-by porch light for you to see will be ok.

Hahahahahaha! I usually like bees and I don't bother with them. But some reason they always give me a reason to take down their crib by totally wack placement of it. We ran some water down with the jet setting on the hose, will brief you all on the situation tomorrow.

Evening gents

I thought it was going to be a big ordeal (there were tons in there), but once I took a hose to it they ran off.

They looked like death with wings though.

Sorry guys

After I got my ti home I discovered what I think was a squirrel's nest in the air filter compartment. I'm sure in the course of things one or more squirrels commuted with the previous owner, or maybe they just took a one way trip.

I'm pretty sure I once has rodents nesting in the engine bay during my engine swap (I found little droplets and shredded paper). I turned into a 5 year old girl until I was confident they were gone.
