Bigger than expected

Once the wasps' nest is out of its box, they are stunned: the huge ball is bigger than a basketball! The family may have wasp nests in their own garden but they have never seen anything as big as this! But what can it contain ...?

Equipped with a pair of ultra thick gloves and a sharp saw, the father begins to work the shell to split the nest in two. Surprisingly, the huge shell is not very hard to cut through.

What the nest reveals is unbelievable

Needless to say, we don't recommend trying this experiment out at home...

So check out the video above to see the results for yourself!
