On my walk today I shot several short videos of a bee hive I found along the path. If you are into bee's maybe you can ID them??

If you just like to see an active hive on a hot day and see the attempts to cool the hive with wing beating at the entrance just like on Nature then this is for you.

Mr. Google says, Bald Face Hornet.

They are the kind that sting!

Nice videos, Ed! I’m sure glad that those hornets didn’t object to being photographed. There’s nothing quite like stirring up a hornet’s nest.

I’ve had those nests near my house on several occasions. I was initially worried about them safety-wise, but when researching them I read that if you don’t get within 6’ or so of the nest, IIRC, they won’t bother you. So I ignored them, and they ignored me, and life went on.

Those are hornets. Luckily not Murder Hornets, maybe just the Armed Robbery or Kidnapping type.
