    Wow!! You don't really see the nests get that big around here (near people anyway). The height must of been to their advantage. They must not be bothering you guys to get a nest that big.

    It's really pretty.

    We never noticed the Hive, caue it is at the top peak of the barn, In the back towards the woods. We Hardly ever go back there. Probably better that way, at least we dont have to worry about the kids messing with it.

    W W! That is scary and beautiful at the same time!

    My co-worker was just telling me that she had one in a tree in her front yard this past weekend. They called the township to find someone to come out and remove it and they were no help at all. She and her husband went out to dinner and when they came back they noticed a branch was sawed off of their tree. It turns out that some neighbors took the situation into their own hands because they have kids and were afraid they'd get stung. Apparently they soaked the nest with bee spray and then sawed the tree branch down. Then they burned the nest. My co-worker was happy that the nest was gone but not so happy when she thought of all that could have happened and the fear of legal repercussions since this all happened on her property. All's well that ends well I guess.

    I was going to say you haven't looked UP in a LONG while for it to get that big. But then you poste aobut ti being in the back.

    When I was at the vet's last week, they had an emergency call, someone was bringing in a lab who stepped on a nest of mud wasps. UGH, poor doggie!

    Waiting for snow sounds like a mighty fine idea! Then the critters are all dead, and you can remove it and mount it inside in your living room! (I knew someone in Maine who had TWO mounted in her living room. )
