One wasp
And you're confident that you can tell the difference between wasps and
honey bees? Yup.... Having had my hands in many a bee hive, I think I can recognise them by now ;-) 'Cos it strikes me that if some folks are already killing what they believe to be wasps, then they might actually be killing beneficial pollinators - rather daft for gardeners. Absolutely. However, wasps are also *good* for the garden, cleaning up plant pests such as aphids as well as dead wood, and plant matter. So why kill any of them if they aren't harming us? Can any wasp experts say if wasps have much need for water at present? Well, according to www.jungleformula.co.uk, the people who do the anti-midge/wasp stuff, wasps in the UK are out looking for water, meat and wood pulp from April to mid August. Best, - h |
