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

As you recall the nest was like a half nest on glass, from the inside of the window you could watch the inside of the nest, egg laying, feeding the pupul, hatching into young bees, dutys of the young until they were a few days old, and the building of the nest.  Just watching them build the nest was very amazeing how they do it.  It started the size of a marbel with one bee and by fall frost it was bigger than a basketball with thousands of bees.  It was by the eating table, it provided live intertainment while you ate all summer long.

That would be cool. My wife probably wouldn't allow it as she is highly allergic to stings.

by the way my daughter got stung on the finger last sunday, in the damn house while watching TV. Must have come in on the firewood. Can't believe a bee sting in Dec.
