I have seen several Hummingbird Hawk Moths today, about purple or blue flowers. Lovely little day flying moth, that true to its name, hovers like a hummingbird when feeding. Have a look in your garden, and you might be lucky to spot one.

Honey Bees are swarming at the moment. Swarming is a natural way that bees proliferate. It is a beneficial activity. If you see a swarm on a bush or tree in your garden, don’t worry about it. They mean you no harm, and will most likely move on in a day or two. If they don’t, let us know, and will will see them relocated into the care of a local Bee Keeper. 🐝👍😍

Nice big (unoccupied) wasp nest removed from a loft this afternoon! Probably home to around 1500 wasps at its peak. Wasp nests are not inhabited by wasps the following season. All nests are initially created by a Queen wasp born the previous season. There is no need to be concerned about old nests, unless:
They get in the way (such as this one)
Become inhabited by foraging insects
Are above a water tank
Are made around power cables, or light fittings (fire Risk)

5th Nov, and very active, and large, Wasp Nest in loft. Unusual for this time of year.

I always give my rat bait stations a kick before I pick them up to inspect them. I do so, as rats are often feeding or sleeping in them. I am glad I did give this box a nudge before picking it up, as it had an active wasp nest in it!
