If you want to save the nest for a decoration..spray a can of raid in the bag and tie it shut good. Then after a few days remove the bag and take the nest out and spray a couple coats of clear poly urethane on it. I did that and nest has been hanging in my shop for twenty years now and still looks good.
I live close nuff to go watch this from a distance. lol
i will be there
Take lots of pics
Be careful. They can put a hurtin on you. Paul must have found it, a little high for you to spot.:biggrin
They won't be gone away Vonna they will just go dormant in the hive! If it freezes in your area like others have said slip a garbage bag around it after making sure there is no activity around it. Seal it up tight, find the hole in the bottom of it through the bag and empty a can of hornet killer into it. Once you are sure all the hornets are dead, open it up and shellac it, they sell for a pretty penny sometimes for decor for cabins and lodges.Quote:

Happened to me on a golf course. Wasn't sure if I was gonna live. Felt like the wind was knocked out of me for about 15 minutes. Gasping for breath. No one around to help. Very scary. Finally made it in and called doctor. He nonchalantly said "sounds like you had a reaction". No joke.
