I have seen 5 or 6 queen wasps this last week. The season is now well under way!

Yep even saw a European Hornet the other day when wax processing, love wasps hopefully a good year for them too.

We may quote you on this comment later in the year when you have a colony destroyed by them
Cheers, Mick.

I have been advised that the big wasps this time of year can be German wasps as opposed to the common wasps. I suspect they are both common but have different names.

I love wasps they usually just clean up around the entrances taking away dead, dying and weak bees and the thing I really liked about them once they were finished cleaning up it become more difficult for other pests to find the hives as it was spotless. I might have less problems as I don't inspect at all when they are active, I am very much hands off.
