Hi @vellen. I agree, next to the front door isn’t a good place for these paper wasp nests. But if you have them around in a place that doesn’t pose a threat to you, let them hang until the bees move out in the fall. These are really beneficial bees and usually don’t pose a threat to people and the spent nests make really excellent paper for art projects!

I collect the old nests and carefully pull the layers apart, preserving them for the paper! You can paint on the paper with different mediums, use as backgrounds for artwork, I even stitch the paper in art quilts. ☺️

Aw, Teri is adorable! Thank you for sharing!
