@hanscees@ieji.de @dillyd@turtleisland.social oh very nice. Are they using the willow bark for nesting?

@hanscees@ieji.de

@Pollinators@epicure.social @dillyd@turtleisland.social no, nesting has stopped by now I think. I think they eat the bark or the juice. But I am not sure

@hanscees@ieji.de @Pollinators@epicure.social @dillyd@turtleisland.social I saw some European hornets in the midst building a beautiful nest last wednesday. They were about halfway, I guess. A joy to watch!
