Wasps where have they gone ?

[Billhook]

NOt thought about it TBH, but now you mention it I havehardly seen any, a few dormant queens earlier this year and the odd wasp flying about. I was privileged enough to see a hornet 2 days ago though. Nesting under the slab left from the elm we milled last year ( see pics in the elm thread lol). I always feel very lucky to see hornets.

 

 

Good man Tommer!

For those of you misguided ones who hate wasps you will be pleased to know that hornets will often build right next to a wasp's nest and eat the grubs.

Badgers also do a good job when the nests are in the ground

Hopefully they don't come back with a vengeance in late summer

It is a life cycle issue.Early in the year wasps are valuable pollinators.

Cracking nest in one of our bat boxes today.........

That's really cool to see.

Took 3 stings the other day while using a pole pruner to reduce a hedge.Wasps are bastards and no amount of

"They do this or that" is going to change my opinion of them.

They probably called you a bastard as well.

Apples are ready so they will be appearing on our back yard any time now, I have the same opinion as stihlmad. It's ages since I was stung by a bee but I get wasp stings every year.

I always keep a can of wasp nest killer in the truck. Kill the nest and carry on
