Hornets nest by clifford

Hornets nest

I was fascinated by the texture of the inside of this tree and was setting up to photograph it when out came a lot of hornets. It was then that I realised I was only 12" away. So I moved, hence the image is not too Sharp
What a great shot. You were wise to move away. I was stung by a hornet a few years ago and it was so painful. The nest is so beautiful though so well done

@onewing Thanks Babs. Ouch, I've not been stung but it does sound really painful. They are quite big too. I suppose we all get a bit too focused when we're taking a photo.

@365projectorgchristine I had to move carefully as I was in the undergrowth and brambles.

@blueberry1222 It's many times larger than a bee and the sting more potent. Hornets kill bees

@busylady I find it amazing how the hornets can find a tree and make a home, and you wouldn't know it was there.
