∙ 15y agoHi, We have personally witnessed a skunk in our front yard here in Framingham, MA dig out a large nest of Yellow Jacket ground bees and consume them at about 9:30 PM this evening. He spent about an hour digging them out and munching away. Apparently he got stung several times but it didn't seem to phase his appetite at all. JimLackey@mac.com Framingham, MA September 9, 2008
