[Lincolnparkdc] Bald faced hornets - notification and recommendations sought

[Benjamin Dunlap]

They are right above our exit door (just above arms reach) and are known to
swarm and sting repeatedly to protect their hive. I would not want us (or
any guest) to end up in the hospital for sustaining multiple stings to the
face just for opening the back door.

I too feel that wildlife is important but this is at risk of being a
menace.
