Yep! They love the sandy soil around here. I've mowed right over their hole and they haven't bothered me. I've also had my head within 3' of a bald faced hornets nest while mowing and they haven't bothered me either, but I didn't take a chance on making a 2nd pass!

I've been trying to get a nice Bald Faced Hornet's nest to hang in the barn for a few years now, and every time the weather cools down (as in approaching a frost) something comes along at night and tears open the bottom of the nest, which ruins it for me. I have yet to figure out just what's doing it. It's happened to nests that are out on the end of a thin branch, and a nest that was less than 2' off of the ground. If I find one this year, I'm stringing an electric fence around it 'till I take it out of the tree!
