Re: Anyone ever see a wasp nest like this before?

I worked as a beekeeper's assistant for a summer during university days in Lethbridge. Im a tall guy as well (6'3"), and unfortunately all the people that had been working there before were pretty short. Which, of course, meant that all the suits they had were small ones. Which is still fine...except for at the wrists and ankles. Luckily for me honey bees have a pretty mild sting, but I will never forget the first nest we collected from! Its incredible how thick the air gets with them when you disturb their nests. I stopped counting stings after around 50, but that didnt even get me to lunch time. I have to say it was a pretty cool job, especially the next day when they got me a bigger suit.
