#1 Next time, wear a burkha! That kind of stuff wouldn't happen (the poor scorpion would be smothered to death by the lack of oxygen and accumulated gas).

#5 Scenes from my youth:
I- Free Radical mows the lawn
II- Free Radical runs at 50 mph chased by 1000 yellow-jackets
III- Free Radical jumps in pool- knows he can hold his breath for 3 minutes.
IV- Dog thinks it is 'playtime': jumps into pool; attacked by remaining yellow-jackets.
V- Stupid yellow-jackets didn't realize that I had taught my dog to dive and swim underwater. Mass insect casualties ensue.
VI- Free radical and dog climb out on deep-end ladder.
VII- Free Radical rummages in storage shed for flame-thrower.
VIII- REVENGE.
The End.

#6 I hate yellow jackets. Getting zapped by one is my first memory.

#7 I once found that an underground "Nest" was near my house, I discovered this by lawnmowing over it.

After retreating I left the mower sitting over the nest running, it took about an hour and a half to run out of gas, never saw another Yellow Jacket come out of that hole, sliced and diced them all.

#8 Unlikely. While yellow jackets and bumble bees have a tendency to use mouse dens and such as their homes, they also have a limited ability to burrw and will almost always give themselves at least one exit (if the mouse or other rodent hasn't already (which they always do).

So, the yellow jackets simply learned that the front door was not the best way out of their hive anymore.

#9 Gasoline suffocates yellow jackets in ground hives! No lighty, just a pint or two.

#10 God invented bees, the devil invented yellow jackets. And hornets. And wasps. Still hasn't gotten it right!

I'm still going to light it. Unless someone can prove to me that they suffer less that way! >:-)
