Bee's/ Wasps nest in our Shed

Found this funny looking item in our shed today. There was life in it (bee or wasp)!

Mick said...: Looks like a wasp nest to me. We had half a dozen of these in our loft. They were the regurgitated remains of my fence. On a quiet summers day you can hear the wasps chewing at my fences from 10 yards away. Just stick a sandwich bag over it and snap it off.; 10:33 PM

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp I'm pretty sure these are old nests for a particular type of wasp. I'd kind of agree with Mick that they're best dealt with when the appear before they can finish making more of the little buggers. However, I'm not sure I could actually do it after my running-through-a-ground-nesting-colony incident as an early teen!
