Paper wasp inside a bird house

Hello I wanted to see different suggestions, I found a paper wasp nest inside a bird house its getting bigger but so far they are not aggressive, and its not close to our house door I know they can be beneficial to pest but my question is: should I remove it since I have a few hummingbirds on the yard that feeds from my plants and the feeders, and I’m afraid that the wasp might hurt them or should I just leave the nest alone? Thank you for the help

Pollinator Houses

So, I'd like to buy one (woodworking tools and THIS klutz don't go well together) but I want to make sure it's the RIGHT one. I don't want to get something that's gonna do more harm than good. Anyone know of one I could purchase that would be safe and effective for these little helpers? Or one I could put together.

Seriously, if I wanna keep my fingers, I should leave woodworking to the pros.
