RE: Fighting the Hive

I've done that before too. My dad had me move some dirt when I was a kid and turns out I put a shovel right in the middle of an underground nest. I think the problem is yellow jackets can chase off honey bees which are pollinators and on the decline, so we need to protect them. If rubbing out a yellow jacket nest saves a honeybee hive (at some future date), I am all for it.
