Mice! Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 I love how much people hate wasps, so long as there not in you house, garage or shed there wonderful little insects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoolinDalton Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 I dare say that we would all agree that we'd rather spend company with a wasp than Packam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t keep bees then? Wasps are a pain in the bum. I should know, I have sat on a wasp twice (not the same wasp). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't no, I know wasps eat plenty of bugs in the garden, and are currently enjoying wind fall plums in my garden, I clean up every chance I get but leave a few for the butterflies and wasps, it's not near the house so no problem.

Gordon R Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Packham might find himself under a bit of pressure from the new head of the BBC. The Countryside Alliance have wasted no time calling for him to back his words and get rid of those with another agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 On wednesday I inadvertently discovered a wasp nest in one of my compost bins they had me before I realised it was their, it's still itching, got the wife too and apparently its all my fault. 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 I've been on this planet 34 years and never had a wasp sting. Until Thursday. We had a chipping job to do from some already felled ash and the only way to get the stuff to said chipper was straight past a wasp nest. Three times on one leg! Why are they so good at getting you on the bum?! So moral of the story. Chainsaw PPE. good protection from chainsaws, rubbish protection from wasps.

chrisjpainter Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 I bore them plenty of malice at the time, but I've got no long term beef with them. Just part of an extraordinarily varied invertebrate world we have in this country. we have over 7,000 species of wasp, so it's probably time we just got used to them! Compared to some of the world's insect sting perils, we've got it light here (aside from allergies). No bullet ants, no tarantula hawk wasps, no warrior wasps. It's all a bit tame here!

Lloyd90 Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Dog ran through a wasp nest last week. He wasn’t happy about it and I spent a good while picking them out of his fur as they burrow right in to sting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchap Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Without wasp's you wouldn't have figs at Christmas, as wasps are the only insect that pollinates the fig tree. Hardly justifies the existence of wasp's if like me you don't like figs either. Edited September 6, 2020 by fatchap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got two fig trees along side the garage and the wasps consume as many as they pollinate as far as I can see 😂 Although given the size of the trees now it won't be long before they undermine the garage so that will be the end of the figs anyway.
