There is an old tree trunk at bottom of garden and what looks like wasps have a nest there. Up to recently when near the area the wasps never came near me but recently seem more aggressive and yeserday i got two stings on my arms. Should i just avoid the area until the frost arrives which hopefully will kill them off or have posters any other suggestions. Frankly i would prefer not to have them in case a visiting child might get stung.
100% correctThe wasps will die off naturally soon and, as far as I know, the nest will not be reused.
They are fascinating to watch, and if you have kids, sit them down a fair distance away and enjoy the spectacle.
After they die off, the nest itself is a wonderful work of art. You should be able to cut it out of the tree and admire it.

Be very careful if you're going to tackle a watch nest, it's potentially very dangerous.
DCD there's a great movie about the difference of wasps and bees, recent, forget the name, Ian McKellan was in it
Hi Brendan..I cannot share your affection for these creatures. I am still feeling the effects of the stings and will not go next or near them. In fact the sight of any tiny flying creatures scares me. My grandchildren are calling today and the back garden is a no go area. You will feel i am overreacting a bit but if you have endured some stings you may have a slightly different viewpoint.DCD there's a great movie about the difference of wasps and bees, recent, forget the name, Ian McKellan was in it
Bronte.
Do you think i might get a buzz from it?Having a few glasses of wine tonight and getting a little buzz without the bees.
