Wasps

... than we did.

how did that post itself before I was ready?

Not got an apple tree lucky but, if it's any consolation the wasps got more of my plums

Is anyone able to harvest their apples before the wasps get to them? I am beginning to take this personally

We've got a wasps nest in and around the bird box on the fence behind the garden shed
They haven't bothered us so far but........
Should we keep it or get it destroyed? The fence is decidedly rickety and being replaced hopefully this autumn, in the meantime I guess it's a good source of wood for their nest building?

Apparently it is "open season" for wasps this year! I have had two very sore stings - one stung me because I lay on it, it had somehow got into my bed. I screamed, husband nearly died of fright. It was so damn sore. The week before that one stung me on my hand, I was standing on a train platform. I could see the sting which I managed to extract (I had tweezers in my handbag).
