We had a whopper in the kitchen a few days ago, eventually it flew out when I opened the window.

My OH used to be a beekeeper, I think it would help if the public knew the difference between wasps and bees.

Plant - I agree. My BIL used to keep bees, and it's a fascinating hobby as well as being very worthwhile.

I was just about to open DS2's front door after taking GD2 and their dog for a walk last week. And there was a wasp buzzing near the door, so I waited for it to go away - and it flew in through the letterbox which had stuck open after the postman had been!!! It was lucky I managed to get it out again.

On the app there are pictures to help people.

My DD has a load of these under her patio. I'm not really sure what they are. She says they haven't stung anyone, they just go about their business.

They sound like motor bees Nana, they can be a nuisance

[Nana]

Thanks Plant I'll go & Google it.

I spent some time in my garden yesterday potting bees, they were very busy.

[Jane Jackson]

Mmm, that should say, 'spotting' not potting!!!!!!!

Leave it as it is Jean.😊 Made me smile.
