No vents in the bathroom. I have gone outside and investigated the eaves closely, no nests hang anywhere. Unless it is actually nested on the roof, I believe they are in my wall.
Got a tip for us?

There must be - or have been - some sort of opening, or aperture, for them to have been able to enter to make a nest.
You may need to summon an expert to identify where they are, and how best to deal with them.
Well if you're lucky you have discovered a mere scouting party... as opposed to assorted people around the world who find that what they eventually notice in their home is only the tip of a honeycomb operation that's been in the works for quite awhile and involves eventual relocation of tens of thousands of little workers...
You believe?
Have you had a second opinion from someone who is knowledgeable about this subject matter?
This all depends on whether the queen has travelled with the advance scouting party, or not.
My brother also is perplexed as to where they are coming from, and he's dealt with infestation. He is coming soon to investigate the room, and if he cannot find the source I am going to call in an expert.
What side was the zipper?Question for you Europeans. Last week I bought a driving jacket from a local haberdashery. Is it common for you to put the zippers on the wrong side of your coats just like you do your car’s steering wheel?
I'd recommend the expert and your brother; your brother may have dealt with infestations, but an expert is trains dot know what to look for.
Wasps paid us a visit over a decade ago, and it started with my mother noticing a small (but persistent) number of them buzzing around, these numbers growing exponentially over the following few days.
Yes, we called in an expert, and yes, he confirmed the presence of a nice, cosy nest (complete with queen in residence) in some sort of niche under the eaves.
We left it to the expert, who - suitably suited up and equipped (we were instructed to start indoors, doors and windows sealed and not to show our faces for over half an hour), took it upon himself to persuade the reluctant queen to make her exit escorted by her courtiers; I am willing to wager that you may be playing host to more than an advance scouting party, and that a queen may already be in situ.
I had a wasps nest this spring. It was outside underneath the barge boards. I was advised not to block the hole with sealant as they might decide to eat through the ceiling and get in.
I bought some spray and sprayed it morning and night for a couple of weeks.
Did the trick.
Good luck with it.
Yah and they are good at finding a tiny place to get in out of a cool evening, too. And pretty clever about finding what looks like a great place to hang out. I've even had them start a nest inside the flap of my car's gas fill. One afternoon I noticed that at the gas station, just three little cells had been built and there was a single wasp working away on it as I opened the flap. I was like uh, no, you have to leave now, pal.
Some paper wasps built a nest one year in a little metal box outside the cellar on the back wall of my place, a open-bottomed thing with a flap-type lid on top; it houses the depressurization mechanism for my propane feed. I saw them going in and out of there in midsummer while going for my mail and thought, oh boy... but not now...
So I waited until late September and when I got up one morning and it was like 25º outside, finally scooped out the nest and sliced it in half and put it out by where the blue jays start looking for sunflower seed. I found out one year by accident that they like to eat wasps; a nest had fallen from a tree out by the barn and I guess the half-frozen ones are like popsicles or something. Meanwhile I figure I got the benefit of the wasps all summer eating little gnats and aphids and stuff I don't happen to care for.
Still if I'd seen them in my house I'd have called for a professional to get them gone, summer or no. One wasp can have come in through a door or while I'm swapping out a sliding screen. Two or more in a day would have me thinking I have a budding problem, unless there's a nest on the deck by the back door.
Good luck with your bee's nest, it can be a real hassle and if they are wasps even more so.
I asked about that, btw. Hahaha.
I got this awesome hoodie from Roots Canada when we were recently up in DC, zipper is on the left - maybe it's a Canadian thing[?]
It's also pink with flowers so ... maybe not ...
If they were hourly, you would have a point. And what company intentionally wants to pay employees OT, especially when these are nighttime employees, not daytime employees?
Sounds like you need to scratch that itch.
Make sure you have a nice beer to go with.
Photo shop, perhaps.
Meanwhile, chateau moi, dinner - a homemade chilli which is simmering away nicely - is on my mind.
Why would take a picture if the skeleton were normal sizes? They took the pics because something was abnormal.
