I'm starting to figure out why God gave them stingers. That's the second nest that's been ravaged within says of me incapacitating them. I think some predator animal likes what they store in the nests but is constantly deterred by the adult's stings. As soon as the stingers are gone, it's an open buffet of food stores and larva. I'm just guessing, but that seems to be what's happening? Interesting.
