We have noticed a lot of them about this year but no nests nearby. They do seem a bit more 'in yer face' than usual as well.

 

Not so many hornets about though this year.

5 within 75 metres of eachother. All very active and next to a well used (now closed) desire line path. Found one this afternoon out with the dogs on the edge of a newly surfaced path.

no nests but a lot of drunk wasps under an apple we were pruning last week, there were hundreds of them, we had to step on them just to work. no stings or buzzing. there were a lot of apples though:thumbup1:

Found 7 within 30yds of one another yesterday, some nasty little blighters amongst 'em as well.

there is absolutely nothing funnier than watching your mate running round a garden, screaming like a girl and trying to extract angry wasps from his trousers, still brings a tear to my eye!

Seven nests in garden hedges this season. They've all been what I believe to be the 'German' wasp; bit smaller than 'our' wasp & very aggressive. I blame the EU for letting 'em across here.

My little cocker 'Jess' was attacked by a swarm, probably more than a hundred on her. She moaned a bit less about the stings than I do!

Seem to have seen more wasps than usual but only found one nest so far and that was in the flue of our boiler. Took some getting out but it's sorted now.

A little tip, if you need to do the job yourself, a good heavy rag soaked in diesel and left under the nest if accessible will do the job overnight, or if the nest is underground a piece of pipe and pour diesel in. Get well covered up though

Not very eco friendly I know, but simetimes needs must.
