Anybody else sick of wasps this year??

[Lullabelle]

Haven't noticed many this year tbh, the odd one but no where near as bad as previous years.

Hardly any here in London, but I've been away to Dorset and Norfolk in the last couple of years and they've been absolutely everywhere, worse than I've ever known them.

When i was swimming in a hotel pool while on holiday the other year i saved a drowning wasp. I scooped it up then threw it up into the air so it could fly off. Since then i've never been bothered by wasps, i think he put the word around the wasp community to leave me alone(!)

I had loads in my kitchen and hallway this year. Glad it's not just me! I was actually inundated. Fact.

I've been stung seven times so far this summer, so yeah I am getting pretty sick of them.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

No.

They're ok in my book.

Seems to me that most people who get harassed are the ones that start yelping whilst doing a rain dance when they spot a wasp 1k away.

I had one wasp that landed on my bike seat just as I stopped at a red light. Did not want to anger it so I got off the bike and waited xD

They are on our six garden fruit trees in huge numbers, the worst for years, with apples being chewed to hollow husks in a day. The fruit, which is really good quality this year, is being wrecked before it is fully ripe so we can't even pick what is left untouched. We did have quite a few greengages, which gave them a hearty meal but not us.

The nests are in hollow trees in nearby fields so nothing we can do about it but I wouldn't have a problem with destroying them if I could.

Got one stuck in my bloody helmet earlier damned thing flew into one of the vents and got stuck nearly crashed my bike

I swallowed one at a bbq last week in the bottom of a beer can, it came back up 5 minutes later, but didnt sting me.

Hardly had any this year at all. All the snow at Easter we had apparently killed them all off.

I always take a wasp trap when camping, but didn't need to use it this year.

Had a coming together with one in my ride today when it collided with the small gap between top of my glasses and helmet as I was tootling along. Stung me on impact the b*gger.
