MASSIVE HORNET NEST IN A TREE HOLLOW NEAR THE GROUND
HAD TO RUN AWAY, THEY SENT SCOUTS AFTER ME AS SOON AS I APPROACHED WITHIN 15FT. MAYBE I’LL RETURN LATER (PROLLY NOT)
THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM NEST WHICH INTERESTED ME. WHAT WORKERS I SAW WERE BLACK AND ORANGISH YELLOW

I observed the Bald Faced Hornets’ nest for the second time in the evening. I counted 8 of the hornets in a bunch at the entrance. When each one left the nest it took a path to the right. Even when I mistakenly stood in their path they showed no signs of aggression. When I moved to take a closer look with my binoculars they were black with white on their face, Targum, and stinger. I only observed 1 entrance but there may be one in the back however it is tucked deep in leaves and grass so unable to tell.
