The Hive is On Its Way!

We have been waiting for the cold weather to set in and all of the wasps to die in the hive that we found in our yard.  Last weekend my husband and son took down the hive.  These are the pictures. 

This is the hive in the tree.

Here is my husband shearing the hive off while my son is holding the branch back. 

Here is my son holding the hive.

 Now it is hanging in our garage and my husband is putting several coats of shellac on it before the hive is moved to the science center in our classroom.
