I know and love bees, honey, pollination of flowers, yes, bees are good things, but, What are wasps and hornets for? Do they do any good?

A great reason for them Kevin, had not thought of that, trouble is when I finally get hold of them they are dead, drowned in the sugary water trap.

Never thought about them as a food source, possibly in batter like the Japanese do with their insects?

Yes Carla, I have read that there can be very serious problems after certain people get stung by the blighters you obviously have to be very careful, I presume you are in favour of getting rid of them.

Hi Emma, I will join your suggested blog, I don't actually hate them I just don't see what good they do and nature usually has a reason for everything.
I don't think that the Wasps rugby team would be to pleased either. -

Wasps are good for gardens.
Their diet consists mostly of pests.
Aphids, flies and caterpillars.

Hello Kibitz, that's the first real comment of support for the wasps, as a keen gardener I can support anything that gets rid of aphids. Maybe I should learn to love them just a little bit.

Like kibitz said, they eat pests (apparently) and aren't really that bad. I have been stung once and it was very painful but it just got stuck in my sleeve while I was riding my bike. I used to leg it away from them but they just follow you. Keep still and calm and they //should// just buzz away.
Or, you can do what my mum does, and swat them with an electrified fly swatter. Smokey BBQ wasp. -

I guess they must have some use, but God knows what it is.
