While strolling along SF botanical gardens my honey spied this and I had to break the rules and go off the path to get this shot. Not the best photo, but this thing was huge... I d say it was at least 18-20in long and about 8-10 in wide.

Sarah65- I couldn't hear them buzzing, but I could feeling my heart beating faster while I was trying to get this shot...

Thanks Irish :) It was an amazing site to see. I wish I got a better shot... I was afraid to get too close though.

Do bees make paper nests?

Lori- I wasn't sure what type of nest it was. I figured that it was some sort of bee-like insect. I saw similar pics online and they said that it was a White or Bald-Faced Hornets nest. Here's a link:
