Anyone know their wasps?
Our local do it yourself pest control guy said the bees will die off in the winter. If this is true, I'd like to get the nest and put it with my collection of bird's nests I have found around my yard.

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Sep 20, 2013I would not bring it in the house. We had one years ago on our farm and one of the old farmers told us that they go dormant and someone he knew took it in the house where they awoke and swarmed. do not know if that is a true story, but many insects do hibernate. Whatever you do, wait until a freeze sets in and remove it at dark. They go in at night.Helpful Reply

Tammy Pratt on Sep 21, 2013@Tom, I don't think that's a wasps nest. Looks more like a hornet's nest. You might be able to have it in your collection, just be careful.Helpful Reply

Mary Piotrowski on Feb 16, 2015These are bald faced hornets. A hive with a queen. Wait until first hard frost, queen burrows into the ground and all others die in the cold. collect nest....if you slice it in half top to bottom you will be amazed at their architecture.Helpful Reply

Karen V on Apr 14, 2015put on a Bee keepers suit, then get an extension pole and tie a rag to the end and set it on fire, then run. Because they are very painful and if you are allergic, they can KILL you.Helpful Reply

Sandy on Feb 22, 2016have a professional deal with it, Tell them you want the nest, but I would have it removed before there is a swarming episode. My dad was in pest control, he would not have let that sit. They will attack anything.Helpful Reply

Gabrielle Falk on Aug 06, 2016Hornets are not like bees. When a bee stings you, they leave their stinger behind and die. Hornets however will keep on coming back again and again to sting. I know it's not an orthodox way of killing hornets or wasps, but I had one growing in a fairly dense vine (the next door neighbours). I nearly put my hands on it when trimming the vine. My husband sprayed the nest (not as large as the one you have) with an insect spray, and then as they came out of the next sprayed them with an aerosol containing GLUE! It worked. However professional help would be my recommendation.Helpful Reply
