Hornets VS. Yellow jackets?

Outside of my work, there is a hornets nest.

There is also a yellow jacket nest within 3 feet of it.

I just went outside, and there are 4 hornets sitting outside of their nest, and about 6 yellow jackets (looking like) they are trying to invade the hornets nest. There is also a hornet flopping around on the ground, can't fly anymore.

My question is what is going on? I know these kinds of bugs get aggressive during this time of year, but is it like a war or something?

Who will win the war?

I got scared with all the madness and came back inside. I don't want stung.

    Search youtube for 30 hornets vs. 30,000 bees.

    Let's just say it was a one sided battle that resulted in a massacre.

    Its a territory war, one will win eventually, or you can win if you call up pest control and have the nests removed i mean they are a work hazard but that depends on how close the nests are

    the nests are too close and they are fighting over territory

    just stay out of it

    one species will win the war
