Omg it would frighted me to death I hate wasps
A pest controller received a shock when he was called to deal with a wasps' nest covering most of a single bed in a woman's spare bedroom.
John Birkett of Longwood Services Pest Control insects said the insects must have been building the giant nest in the house in Winchester, Hampshire for the whole summer.
He estimated the huge colony contained about 5,000 wasps, thousands more grubs and around 500 young queens.
In order to deal with it he had to spend several hours fumigating the room wearing a bee suit as the insects attempted to sting him to fend him off.
He told Sky News: "When I went upstairs and went into the room, It was the most amazing sight I had ever seen.

I think I'd have to move or burn my house down if that happened to me...
<pedant>The nest in the article only covers a third of the bed, at most.</pedant>
I like how this story went from sort of odd but funny, to dark and macabre. Being woken by a ton of wasps, I dont think much can be worse.
Lol I never thought of that
I assume 'bee suit' refers to some sort of protective clothing and that he wasn't actually dressed as a bumble bee.
What a shame, he should have really been dressed as a bee ----anyhow, what sort of person doesn't notice there is a wasp nest being built in one of her rooms?
We had a nest in our house last year, they were coming through a vent in the bathroom, travelling along the walls and dropping out into MY window sill where there was light. It was around this time last year so they were majorly droopy.
Took us almost 3 days to discover how they were entering the room
