Bald-faced Hornets

Lake Frederick, Virginia

If you've ever been stung (usually multiple times) by a Bald-faced Hornet, then you know just how painful their stings can be.
This very active nest is hanging right over Lake Frederick's shoreline behind the Section 5 housing area.
Looks like three guards are posted at the entrance! See 'previous' for a complete nest view.
