Thanks for posting the photograph. Its a female Asian hornet (Vespa velutina), and as were in the summer this must be a worker. The presence of an isolated specimen doesnt necessarily mean theres a nest around (the workers can go far from their nests when looking for food), but if this specimen was taking water then its nest may indeed be nearby. This hornet prefers tall treetops for its nests, but it can nest practically anywhere (eaves, windows, balconies, earth banks, construction cranes...). Tree nests are very hard to spot because theyre hidden by the foliage, and nests at other locations are usually high as well and may be difficult to see from below: often the only hint of their presence is the traffic of hornets in the vicinity of the entrance. Isolated hornets dont usually sting without provocation, and attacks on people usually only happen at the nest, because they defend their nests vigorously and in large groups. Vespa velutina is now widespread in most of Catalonia
