If it was actually hornets and not two feet from my front door, maybe! White faced hornets, also called bald faced hornets, are relatives of yellow jackets and technically wasps. They are misnamed hornets because of their size. They are eve

It sounds interesting, but that page is just a login and no info. Can you provide a screenshot or something? I like the mind-map idea and want to see how you are doing that.
