I was stung by a wasp in the garden years ago and it was incredibly

And they attack and rob bee-hives :-(

But the bees gang up and kill them. I watched my bees do it and very

Nick lost his queen before CHristmas to a wasp attack. He was given a new
one just after Christmas, but the hive didn't take to her, and 2 days later
she was dead too. :-(
