Did a laurel hedge the other day that was full of wasps, that also seemed a bit dopey.

I hate the bl%%dy things, mind you, was climbing a euc dismantle yesterday & it was full of hornets for some reason, they put the wind up me a bit, rigged it all down a bit sharpish & kept my mouth closed & top button done up!

All it takes is a load of fruit in a compost bin, or some fallen plumbs to get them sizzled.

What was the weather like. If it has gone from hot to cold overnight wasps and bees will be very docile.

cool this morning but sunny all day and warm and they were still docile
