Here's the progress of the white faced hornet nest on the peak of our house as of a few minutes ago.
They are still active but not near as much as when it was hot.
Looks like some over anxious bird was trying to get to the comb already. Not too smart.

pacerron; All I can say is, WOW! Those hornets have been serious this year!

How bout the way that game ended? Too bad Bird missed it. Of course it doesn't amount to a hill of beans cuz the Rangers aren't in it:irked::irked:

If Boston doesn't pull it out that ump will go in the history books next to Bucky Dent!!!
Robbyr know how you feel Yankees are home watching as well. Go Cards!

So how big will you let it get?

Drove to Austin and then Marble Falls with my Daughter and Granddaughter yesterday. Brenham and Giddings area ponds looked full. Marble Falls got a little shower last night and some sprinkles on us this morning. Left Austin at 2 this afternoon and the ponds in the Brenham and Navasota area were overflowing. Bottom lands had standing water. Got home around 5 to see my small pond 8 inches from overflow and the island pond about 2 feet from overflow with 2 inches in the rain gage.

That's one happy, smiling baby! Ready for trick or treating!

That is entirely up to the hornets.
As long as you don't mess with them, they don't mess with you.
Nature keeps control. The weather is getting cold and after a couple freezes
they will be dead. The problem is the location for getting all the stuck paper
off the house. One of our deer hunters promised on Musket weekend to get up there and remove
it when they come back for regular season. The birds will probably rip it apart in the meantime.

well, good luck. It's been very interesting watching and reading your documentation of their nest building.

We got 1.5 inches. Missed most of the Cowboys game with a horse with colic. She seems to be fine now.
