Use lots of care if these are white faced hornets. They are beyond comprehension when on the attack. Don't think you're clear at night, they will fly at night and always leave at least one sentry outside at night. You get tagged with the pheromone, they will have a sting party on you that will not stop. If undisturbed, they are not aggressive, however the slightest threat will set them, off. I would be extremely careful if trying to capture the nest like that, again if these are white faced hornets. Yellow ones seem a little different around here, not as aggressive, but just as dangerous.
I have come face to face with a white faced hornets nest while on a tractor and was very happy I saw them before I bumped the honey suckle bush they were in. The nest was one of the biggest I have ever seen. You could walk up to it, interrupt their flight path even, but just bump that bush, it's over in a hurry. Sometimes all of these will bumble around for a bit when initially disturbed, gives you time to get away, other times they'll be on you instantly. I'd be wearing my bee suit if dealing with these. Never been tagged by one so far and I have knocked a few large nests down before. I use a basket ball, plenty of distance and ran to a vehicle for protection.
