Can anyone identify the two pictures please? I think the insect is a Hornet. The nest is stuck to the garage roof and is about 3 inches across with an access hole in the bottom. Many thanks

Agree, keep your distance I still have the scar on my stomach from being stung 40 odd years ago when I worked in Zambia, and if I try hard I'm sure it still hurts now

Pardon me chaps but unless I am mistaken, this is not an African hornet and checking his address; he aint in Zambia where biting things can be rather nasty.

it points out that young nests look clean and fresh, they become old and tatty as they get older and the insects add more to the outside to repair damaged areas.
apart from being big and noisy hornets wont do you any harm if you leave them alone. i see loads of them here in france and often get them in the house but they are easy to usher out and are not at all aggressive. between the bee , wasp and hornet the bee has the worst sting and the wasp and (european) hornet are about the same. all the best sean
