Hornets Nest?

Thanks for the advice!

Some years ago we had a hornet's nest outside at the house. They were not aggressive at all. Obviously they sting when attacked. When we noticed the nest we first were very worried but then decided to let them live. They were spending all summer outside flying in and out and we got used to them. Nevertheless we made sure the spring after that they didn't build in the same place again.

Yep that looks just like the hornet's nest that was in Robyn's tree in the front yard. My grandson climbed up, thinking (from the ground) that it was a bird's nest. He called her to come and see it. By the time she got there he had already climbed the tree and he was crying as he had been stung several times.

I think her hubby sprayed it at night and then, after they were all dead, clipped the limb off and put it in the trash.
