Gooseberries coated with hornets

On Saturday the 20th we went to the Ninilchik for our Kenai Peninsula fair. It was kind of fun except there was so much smoke in the air from a fire near Fairbanks that it looked like fog. The following day after church we went to a 60th wedding anniversary near our home and there were hornets all over the place. Several small kids were stung. :( Some people think the smoke caused the hornets come out.
When we came home Lois Ann asked me to pick a few cups of gooseberries from a bush in our garden. There were a lot of hornets flying around it, but i was able to get over 2 cups of berriesfor some small pies. While we were picking we noticed all these hornets on one gooseberry. A few hours later they were all swarming on a different berry.
