We have a beautiful bald faced hornet nest on one of the back windows. In April/May it was less than golf ball size and now it’s larger than a human head. I was really hoping that the nest would resemble a human head or a cyber-man but alas. We have plywood on the inside so we haven’t been able to peer into the nest, this would have been great to time-lapse 🙁
The hornets naturally die out in Winter (apart from the smart Queens who hibernate). I was hoping we could see this nest out, but talking to our architect and builder it looks like the windows should be worked on early (because of insulation). So poor hornets, I may have to kill you. Hopefully some early Queens will already have started to leave the nest.
If anyone has a better solution for removing them please let us know. We haven’t had any bother with them, but removing windows etc is going to be trouble.
PS. I think the swirls in the glass are due to imperfections in the glass, Derrick and Giovanna refer to this as “wavy glass” and it’s worth saving if you come across any. It does distort slightly as you look through it and this has a certain charm.
