Hi Dawn,
I don’t think they are as aggressive as I think they are. I think I just made them really mad by opening their box. When I pulled them out of the eave there was only four stings and I understand that. They are very close to the house with noise and what not and they don’t bother us. When I refill their food they are kind. I sometimes go out there and talk to them and pet them and they seem to be okay. I know the colony I got from a friends house was extremely docile and they have migrated to that box. I pray they aren’t africanized. LOL Now I am going to have nightmares. Just kidding about the nightmare thing.
