My apologies. I will endeavour to do my best so as to not "poke at that hornets nest again".
When I was 9, I learned throwing crab apples at a hornet next was not a good idea, either. I also learned I could out run hornets. My cousin and I were having a contest, and I won. I hit the hornet nest first. We both saw a big black cloud emerge, and then we had our second, unscheduled event... we tied at that one. We both hit the woodshed door at the same time!
No hornets where I live now, but f there were, I'd recommend gasoline and fire. We do love barbecuing in California.
