Winter (3)

Hallo Karsten ... I did not find this tattered nest until it had been abandoned by its residents; which I think were probably hornets not honeybees. Hornets feed their larvae directly with chewed-up bits of fruit and insect fragments (feed their young like seagulls do, I guess). So no honey in this nest ... which is best left alone in Summer when inhabited, to avoid an assault by multiple stinging hornets.
Beste Grüße, Wally

Nobody home! Wasps, or hornets? If this doesn't give you the creeps, nothing will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqCV7g9dmCw Nice capture, Wally!

... hey, thanks for the link: I've always liked El Camino's (though they didn't have much of a payload). This one probably can be had for cheap, though it will certainly need a new headliner.
Then YouTube linked me into adjacent videos, and I ended up watching dash-cam clips of Russian snowy high-speed vehicle crashes for an hour ... aargh!!
