Softball sized yellow jacket nest

By early July, the queen has some workers in the nest to help build. It starts growing rapidly and reaches the size of a softball

Yellow Jackets like to build nests near available water.

Why does the queen jump out so fast, I figured they would be holed up in hiding and not want to leave.....you can actually see one with white all over it in the video it looks bigger than the others, that must be her

Imagine that you have softball and strike it with bat and then the yellow jackets will fly out of it 😰
