Did you know that wasps do actually produce small amounts of honey only it is a crystalline solid. Can't say that I know anyone who has ever tried it though. :0)

Tons of wasps in our part of East Devon, so I think we've got all yours. I'll send some down your way if you want? We didn't have a wasp problem last year, but this year seems very busy!

 

[beebopalula]

We killed most of the queen wasps during a hot spell in March this year and since then, have not seen any until two weeks ago. Numbers now increasing again.
