Ticks

[Mint Bee]

Maybe the OP should eat some!

Maybe I should. removed another b@#$#%d tick last night! I can only think that because it been hot, I've been wearing a ventilated mesh suit and that they are small enough to get through, or at least get caught in the mesh. I've got some jungle formula to hand so will try this out before next visits to see if this helps, if just annoys the bees or I am truly a tick magnet

No wasps at all up here. Plenty Queen wasps earlier in the year so the bad weather must have ruined their early season activities.

I'd be very careful using Deet on your mesh suit - it melts plastic!!

Same here.

me too. Loads of hornets, but just one wasp so far. My understanding is that hornets goble wasps. So maybe there is a link.

I saw quite a few queen hornets earlier in the year, but I've not seen any flying for a few weeks now. No wasps either.
