Hornet Nest Remnant

During the summer I took several pictures of this hornet nest first with hornets, then later, in the fall, as it had been damaged. I was surprised to see it still hanging up in the tree this week even after all the ice, snow and winds of the last several days.

In August as a functioning hornet nest:

Later, in September, damaged but with hornets still moving around inside:
