There's no need to cut it down even, unless you want to. Wasps won't
use it again.

I'm tempted to ask how big it is? Golf ball on a stem or bigger?

If you do cut it down do it carefully, the outside envelope is vey
fragile. When it's down cut it in half, carefully, with a bread knife
and show the children the marvellous architecture of the construction.

Hear, hear, they are amazingly intricate and delicate constructions. See
if a local Primary School has a teacher who could use it in lessons (mind
I'm not sure that a "nature table" features in the modern curriculem). Or
better still offer to give a small talk about wasps showing the nest.
Wasps suffer a very bad press but are really fascinating, inquisitive and
helpful creatures.
