Bald-faced Hornet's Nest

This is the hornet's nest last summer.

Bald-faced hornets on the nest. 

These honeycombs are in a spiral shape.

The two parts of the nest.

Paper cover on outside fell off, then comb fell.

This nest was behind the bench still intact in December.

Phil and Joan cutting it down.
