White faced hornet. They leave a sentry outside, just shake the branch and they will be out in force, instantly. I have one in a paddock right now, where our stallion resides, in an apple tree, one of the biggest I have ever seen. I let it go, though by now or shortly, they'll be gone, though sometimes a few may linger, not sure where the rest go.
I took a pitch fork and just rattled the branch, got some distance, and just watched what they did. Wow, to say the least, what a show of force. You absolutely don't want to be near em if agitated, even slightly.

This one we have now is healthy, make a nice wall hanger. I don't see these very often, which is probably a good thing, they are bug eaters though, so I let em bee LOL !

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
