I was spraying some liquid wrench on the gate hinges and a wasp happened to buzz me.
I wasn't even spraying in his direction, but he suddenly dropped like he'd been hit with a swatter.
Must have caught just enough of the mist to suffocate him.

Interested in the method here. You sprayed it with what? WD40? You saturated it until they moved out? How long did it take to saturate a nest of that size?
This thread is excellent info.
How does one apply cinnamon powder to a honeybee nest?
I used to use that wasp nest spray from Lowe's that has the can that shoots a good 20ft and seals them in - at least near as I can tell that was the methodology - it was a long time ago.

I used an entire can of a wasp and hornet spray. I waited until it was dark to be certain that all the hornets would be in the nest, then I started spraying at the entry hole and kept spraying until the can was empty. Not certain which brand I used as I keep several cans on hand and buy whichever brand is on sale. Here's some that I have on hand at the moment.

Excellent summary, thanks! Same stuff I would have used then
I probably would have been scared that they'd re-homed it after several weeks!

When it's a "real" "Bee Hive", a Bee keeper will be more than happy
to come and move the Queen (the colony will then follow)
to a new "Bee House" with drawers where he will collect the honey later.
Just so you know.

Bee Barf is the sweetest thing.
Actually that's what honey is...bees eat pollen and puke a residual concoction that other bees chew on. Then they puke it up into honeycomb for storage. After it ages awhile you have DEEE-licious honey. But I still call it Bee Barf.
