Forund a nice large bees nest, have questions?
Key:
ok, an other question. Are there any eggs in the next that will hatch after I have it hung up a few months or will spraying kill everthing?
Hhop:
Just hang it somewhere that it will be exposed to below freezing temperatures and it will be okay. I have sold several on Ebay and always just wait until winter to collect them. I have a couple that I will go back and get in a couple of months, and hopefully someone has not blasted them with a shotgun before then!
Good luck!

The only problem with waiting till winter is the birds get in the,For the eggs.I have tore
them down and they are full of eggs.I would spray it good inside and out and leave it out in the cold ,somewhere varmets and birds can't get to it. :)

Thanks for all the good advise guys. I am going to go down and take a picture of the nest today and post it. It is not high off the ground so I can get it down easily.
You know it is funny how something like this nest can be so cool to have. I am going to take c are of it before the birds do.
Hhop:
For the best results, Pappy is correct. I just do not want to contend with the hornets or spraying....and one of the hornet nests I have spotted is hanging over the bank of a river. That one, I most definitely do not want to try and get until I am sure that the hornets are not an issue.
