Wasps on the move - A Swarm of Wasps in my Garden

Two days ago in the early evening a swarm of wasps arrived in my garden. Swarming wasps can be dangerous as they might easily become aggressive. But in this case they were most likely looking for a new place to nest and they left us and the dogs alone.

Still one has to be careful not to disturb them. They are protecting the queen which is probably hidden in the centre of the colony.

I good not find out what kind of wasps they are. Or are they hornets? Are they aggressive? Do they sting?

I had no idea but I had to photograph and film them as close as possible.

Here’s a little video I made.
