Bee's Nest

It was about 30- 35 feet up.   Most aren't that high, probably about 5-6  feet average.   You know walking along, not paying attention run your head into height.

I love the preserved nests. It looks great. Ive seen a lot of aerial nests this year. I was even fighting one in my yard that was giving me a hard time...

I took some pics of the biggest nest I have seen. It was south of the Swift resevoir, east of Cougar. I was happy I saw it before walking under it. It looked to be about 15 inches in diameter and a little longer than that.

It might be Huntbear.  I see that big pine behind it, it might be dry as a bone under it.

Gonna see if it is sometime after the 1st.  Have to get over there first.

 Used to be a BIG one above the pool table at the old Orient Tavern. Wish that place was still open.

That certainly looks like a monster True.

What's the biggest you have seen? I hate those nests, but I like seeing pics of them.

The one in the pine tree was pretty big......haven't measured the two that I have here but they are also pretty good sized.

i would put it behind the seat of my buddies truck for about 6 months and if you dont hear anything from him it is ok to put inthe house.

Found an above ground yellow jackets nest in my back yard..... Maybe 10" diameter... Pretty big for over here..... Sprayed it late summer a few times...... Was trying to save it... After first freeze I figured all was good over a week ago.... Not so much.... Nest is smashed into shreds..... I didn't get stung..... I'm sure it was only because it was still a little chilly for them... They look sweet though.... I've been wanting and trying to get one for a while.... Either the birds get before me or I mess it up......

Here's one I found during late buck up in 117.

Too bad it was 1/2 gone.

Here's one that I had a call about from a neighbor. I titled it as "Firefighter Hazard".

Oh wow, thats unique...


Growing up we had one on our living room window, a big picture window, in the upper corner.   One of the best science projects I ever had.   We normally nuked the things, but credit ti Idabooner, I learned alot by watching it expand and grow.  VERY COOL

This was an oddity for me this year. This thing was the size of a grapefruit. The area I was hunting late buck (North of Mt Spokane) I literally saw probably a couple dozen of these in 2 days of hunting. They all were in this good of shape. Kinda cool.
None were over 3 ft off the ground, most were about 2ft.
