There is a guy in my area that takes hornets but I don't think he takes the nest; if there is someone in your area doing this kind of work, maybe they could let you know when they get called out to a large nest and then you can see if you can get it. Just a thought.

Maybe Gutpile will have an idea on who to contact?

Find someone like him in your area and you can probably get a nest. Or contact him (Mike Juhl) and see if he could ship one to you.......... :dunno: http://www.hornetnestsfreeremoval.com/501.html (http://www.hornetnestsfreeremoval.com/501.html)
