About 8 years ago, back when I worked in an office, a swarm of wasps decided to make a hive right on my office window (on the outside, that is). I could see right inside the hive! It was quite amazing.
When I first noticed it, it was about the size of a walnut, and it eventually grew to about 15 inches across over the period of several weeks or a month. I thought it odd that the wasps didn't seem to mind that I peered in on a regular basis - I guess they knew that I couldn't harm them throught the glass or something. I watched the little pupae (is that the word?) squirming around, being attended to by some wasps, watched other wasps build the nest around the edges; it was so cool! I'd bring my kids into the office, so they could look too, figuring it was educational and all. Since my office was right next to a school yard, I suppose the school board was worried about the kids, and it was eventually removed, which I was quite sad about. Worse of all, that was in my "dormant" years, photographically speaking, and didn't have a camera!
