I've seen one honey bee and two wasps. Only one of the two wasps is
still alive the other one committed suicide by crawling into an open

garden as we have this year.

I've not seen a single wasp this year, although Nick says he's had
a wasp invasion of one of his hives, so they are definitely around

One nest here has been destroyed and there were many wasps on the
flowering Angelica today. The pest control man said he 'did' 17 nests
last week in various places.
