Naturalist's Notebook

The so-called bees in the earlier post, of course, are wasps.

Tom spent valuable time this morning on the internet looking up ways to get rid of them. Even as I bog, he is putting together a wasp trap out of a plastic soda bottle based on a design he found. I am not particularly sanguine about it, but what do I know?

Given where the nest is located and the warnings online, looks like burning them out is not a good option. So it will probably be back to intense bombardment with wasp spray.

Personally, I think we should have given the sanctions time to work.
