u/Strict_Umpire_9564

i have this sun umbrella on one of my balconies from the previous tenants(i just started living here like 3 months ago) and I've been meaning to throw it away since it's broken and I dont use it. but it seems like this one yellowjacket started making a nest in there? which i wouldn't mind if it wasnt like...right in front of my chair/coffee table and i wasn't allergic to them.

can anyone confirm if that's what it's doing? cuz if so i might have to get rid of this before it calls its lil buddies for a house warming party. again i have only seen one singular wasp at a time so i assume it is on its own? maybe it ran away from home? i don't know
