Default Wasps Nest in bird box

Hi, I haven't posted here for a long time, only growing strawberries
this year...

I am undecided what to do about a wasps nest which has appeared in
one of my camera bird boxes. It obscured the camera as soon as it
was established, so no fun watching them build.

I left it alone, and watched the wasps buzzing in and out, accepting
that it would never be a very large nest, but to my dismay it is
being extended out of the nest box hole, and I foresee it enveloping
the whole box eventually.

Should I let them be, or get it removed?
I know they are supposed to be good for the garden, but...

I would leave them alone so long as they are not a nuisance where they
are. If you do decide to evict them set up another camera so you can
show us all what happened:-)

I hate swarms.

Wasps or bees can kill people with an alergy, so be careful.
