Wasp nest

Well, all of us have to live here on this earth, but I am, to be honest, grateful that someone or something has put an end to this wasp queen’s attempt to build a home for her clan near my little red house and this are the reasons why.

Firstly, I have never had the ability to sit still when a wasp comes too close. I panic and flutter hysterically with arms and legs. It may make the wasp irritated and more aggressive, but I call on the right to defend myself and attack is, as you probably know, the best form of defence or…?

Secondly, wasps kill honey bees if they can get away with it and I what to do what I can to avoid open war between wasps and wild bees who are diligent and welcoming guests in my garden.

With that said, wasps do most likely have their justification by being useful somewhere in the food chain, and I hope they will continue doing so as long as they stay away from my garden and “my” honey bees.
