Deadwooding over a work area...forest stewardship project .
Looking down from 100'.
Most of what was out of this fir.
High stump...felling a Laminated Root Disease-infected doug-fir near a shop.
I found that cutting a kerf in the end makes a good saw holder.
Scaring an immune western redcedar keeper tree in this root disease pocket. Nest seemed empty and old.
A feller can position a spring board forward for the facecut or backward for the backcut from the same 'seat'. My s.b. 'shoe' is semicircular, so it can be pivoted while standing on it.

Just a reminder to be on the lookout for for these guys. I spotted this hive this morning hanging from the tree that I was supposed to load debris underneath with the grapple truck. I very likely would have brushed other limbs which may have been enough to trigger these hornets.

As a side note. The above pic originally loaded sideways as others have dealt with. I cropped the pic some and tried again and it came through with the correct orientation.

So pretty! I backed the ROPS into a smaller one of those brush hogging yrs back and they swarmed the engine but didn't sting me, heart rate jumped though

You can see it hanging here from this small Maple. It's right over the driveway and mailbox. The homeowners were unaware it was there until I pointed it out.
We were here a couple of months ago and I didn't see it then. I'm not sure if I overlooked it or if they can build that quickly.
Scary, but they really are beautiful structures.
I've managed to get ahold of and preserve a few of them over the years. In my area, most are just 1.5" holes in the ground, usually under a rotten log. Here is the one that got me yesterday after I foamed it... many times.

I was shown a trick for ground bees that works quite well if you notice them before they get pissed off: gasoline. Just a little squirt on/in the hole as you casually walk past, and then keep walking away. The gas vapors are heavier that air and they all quickly suffocate. Waaaay cheaper that whatever is in those cans of spray, and I have seen it work a few times now.
I once didn't notice the hornets nest on the branch while speedlining. The reaction from the ground crew when that branch hit the deck was instant: everyone ran away in all directions like an explosion of people. Luckily for everyone involved, there were no longer any hornets using the hive, but it was a harsh reminder to pay more attention to these things.

The videos of the nests on the eaves covered with a jar with a little gas in it are pretty good.

Dude. Could you imagine….if it was occupied…and you sent that SOB flying through the air just to explode on the deck. Geez la pete….that would be one for the books. That made me laugh.
