Inside a Hornet's Nest

A view inside a nest of Bald-faced Hornets. My neighbours in southeast Manitoba had a hornet's nest too close to their house, it had to be removed. After it was sprayed I dissected it to show people the inside. Bald-faced Hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) are not technically "hornets", they are true "wasps". The inside of the nest is an amazing structure.
