As a thank you it bit me before flying off to join his pals in the graveyard trees 😂😬

After a terrible year last year, mark my words….they will be everywhere this year 😬😉

If you see a large number of wasps swarming in and around certain trees at the moment, it’s probably the wasps being attracted by the honeydew by-product of the aphids feeding off the tree. The honeydew drips off onto other branches or onto the floor attracting the wasps whose food source is rapidly reducing. It may look like you have a wasp nest but in most cases you don’t.

See below pictures of the aphids, late last week, on a tree in Buxton. This tree had aphids on nearly every branch and lots of honeydew had dropped onto the dry stone wall underneath, attracting dozens of wasps 🐝

First European Hornets of the year. I love these flying buses, but it’s a holiday let with two large families with kids about to arrive, so they had to go ☹️

Yeah I can clear your loft space of pigeons I said……holy moly! I didn’t bank on 30 degree heat on one day and the one and a half tonnes of droppings I removed 🥵🙄🫢
However a job well done and new netting to stop further incursions by the pesky pigeons 👍🏻
P.s the larvae you see are mealworms, literally thousands of them living in the 3” of droppings

Late late show for the wasps this season, usually a lot busier than this early July.
However you’ve got to admire the intricacies of their nests.
I point this out every year, but look at all the different coloured fence panels they’ve taken the wood pulp from to build the nest……amazing!

On another point….
We don’t treat bumble bees but I have noticed a distinct lack of bees in my garden this year. That’s not good at all.
