Is this what I think it is
Just moved into a new house and I see this massive kingdom of doom hanging from a tree in the backyard. Fairly certain it’s a BFH nest. Very clearly abandoned for the winter (or maybe from last winter since this is very broken apart). Hard to tell from pic, but It’s probably almost bigger than a soccer ball.
It’s about 50-100 ft up from the ground. Do I have to be worried about them next season nesting very close by? I don’t know if they typically nest close to former nests or find somewhere completely new.
I have a horrible phobia of wasps/bees/etc so I’m ready to move house again 😂😭
