If they are queen wasps then i will get rid

If they are immature bumble bees then i will re bury them


At the risk of sounding like a cracked record, you shouldn't kill queen
wasps...

They produce offspring which eat aphids for most of the year, and are
annoying for about two weeks in the autumn.

Aphids are your real enemy - they carry viruses which kill your plants, as
well as eating sugar from the plant.

DON'T KILL WASPS (unless they become a major nuisance).
