It was big and looked very threatening especially as we walked past this brach quite regularly. We were very tempted to destroy it before we got attacked by, but I did some research and discovered that hornets are useful in the garden as they are predators of harmful insect pests including caterpillars.
So, we decided to live with the hornets, but if they stung us, we'd take action.
We had no incidents, but watched as the nest grew weekly. Fortunately, nature has its way of sorting things out and the branch hosting the nest was blown down during a storm, with its occupants abandoning their home, leaving us able to work in the garden with one less threat to worry about.
