There was a hornet's nest just next door.  The building besides my house is vacant for a long time and out of the blue suddenly there was a hornet's nest on the wall.  OMG!  I've being stung before and the experience is scary and painful.

The council workers came in the evening to clear the nest.  What a mess.  They try to burn the nest at first but their  fire was too big and they charred the wall of the building.   Then they damaged the nest and it fell to the gtound.  They managed to destroy the nest but not the hornets although some got burnt.  What a headache for me when the hornet swarm over to my garden trying to find a resting place for the night.  I finished my half can of aerosol spray on them but without much success.  The next morning water did a better job and I turned on the garden tap full and shoot at the hornets trying to settle down under the tree in my garden.

Before the destruction of the nest I took a few photos of the nest.  I could not imagine the nest could be so beautifully crafted.  Take a look at the picture below.
