An Asiatic Hornet Nest?

Earlier on in this year I was stung by a bee like object in this shed, whilst I was retrieving the hoses for the pump.

There was a small fist size nest then. This is now as big as a soccer ball.

A Bing image search suggests that this is a frelon asiatique nest.

If it is, then I had a lucky escape by getting out of dodge quickly.

It could have been NASTY. They charge en masse.

This photo is of the nest today, so it looks like the shed is out of bounds until the temperature drops or we call a specialist…
