However I don't recall seeing the nest of a hive in such a shape. Are they on the surface facing the camera or behind it?<br /><br />Maybe they are a migrating hive and building a new nest.<br /><br />T<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-25034980527447843722016-05-06T00:21:48.485+08:002016-05-06T00:21:48.485+08:00Hi T --

Maybe then you can identify them (for me)!<br /><br />But yes, I've seen wasp hives before and heard the buzz of the wasps.

Just I am uncertain if what's within would bit or sting.<br /><br />Anyway, if you do not see sentries in formation near the nest it is unlikely to be a wasp hive. I have encountered wasp hives in close quarters twice.

Either way, I was glad that I was further away from it than the photo (taken with a zoom lens) may make you think!<br /><br />Am not sure about the volume but reckon that the nest was about 30 centimeters high.
