I was forking over a patch of garden, readying it for sowing on Friday.
In the space of 3-4m I dug out two wasp nests! (I forked over only about 10 square metres). One looked as though it may have been drowned out recently but the othe was active. Queenie was hunting around for her nest, but the larvae were were being eagerly devoured by a family of fledged robins (along with parents).
I hope this is not a good indication of how many wasp nests might be around this season, but definitely indicates the rest of that patch, at least, needs attention before those larvae could turn into workers!
