    Perhaps the wasps are just waking up.Iquite like wasps in the garden if they are not too near the house,I have a nest every year in my climbing Hydranger,never bothered by caterpillars they eat them.J

    Urm I think we have a nest in our hedge again - bit of a worry as the pup bought one in the house yesterday - I don't want him getting stung all the time - also I hate the fact I have to fight them for my apples in October so think I may get rid of them this year.

    We had a hornets' nest in the loft the year before last, so I panic whenever I see a large wasp now. We have had a few buzzing around for about 6 weeks now, so I guess there's a nest around here somewhere. I shall leave them be so long as they stay outside.

    This nice man dealt with it for us.
