They may be but I don't think I've come across any around here.Our bald faced hornets are closely related to yellow jackets. Basically a black and white yellow jacket. I thought they were back east as well.

Thanks for confirming, Nice to know we out west are not alone with the bald faced devil.They are here in PA, took out 4 nests of BFH so far. Very aggressive. 2 surrounded me at one point and flew back and forth, so fast I could not see them while moving.
Pretty standard. Water sugar mix at 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. I boil the water, add sugar, stir to dissolve and then let cool it down. I use organic sugar which gives the water a beer color look, I find it easier to see the water level. Keep it fresh and keep the feeders clean. I use feeders that open up enough to get good and clean.what do you use in your feeder?
We've had a pretty typical year for the hummers, just starting to slow down this week a little. We have 2, 7 station feeders that hold 40 oz. each (2 1/2 qts. total) and they go thru those in less than 24 hrs. At the "peak" a week or two ago they were going thru them in approx. 12 hrs but have settled back down now. Been feeding them on the front porch here for 14 years now. Usually the last birds are seen in mid-Oct here and the latest we've ever seen them was about 4 or 5 days before Halloween. Northern middle TN. here.
