It might cool things down enough for you to get in and remove the nest without getting stung.

It seems that the nest is embedded somewhat within the sculpture so there is limited physical access. I’m starting to think a pesticide will be necessary… Thank you all, Bernice Bernice Morris Assistant Conservator of Costume and Textiles Philadelphia Museum of Art 215-684-7579 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To send an email to the list, send your msg to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe from this list send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> and in the subject put: "unsubscribe" - no quotes please.
