On a beautiful sunny day in Arcadia a bit of danger lurked on a garage wall. Earlier last week, Shirley Stinnett called in her Hornet’s nest as one of those things you just have to see. Indeed she was right.

Hornets have invaded her garage, building the most unusual nest. From afar it looks like a cow head not a bad omen for a farm, but up close, well, um, they look dangerous. A hornet sting is very painful, so caution should always be used when encountering a nest. Not only that, but the hornets army will chase the intruder as well.

The hornets built the nest around a bi-spotlight and motion detector on the front of the Stinnett garage. The busy hornets flew in and out on a flight path that would make Dulles  air traffic control amazed.  Stinnett and her husband Will hope to get the nest removed before the Hornet’s sting them!
