wine Dancing with spiders! joy... Now my wasp story: I have formed a relationship with the wasps in the garage. This didn't happen by accident, but from generations of information- gathering wasp, When I open the garage door, the wasps know to gather at their nest and remain still and peaceful, until I back the car out and close the garage door. The wasp know that if they sting me, their nest will be destroyed.

conversing Maybe Miss, but I have a story even better than that one: The following happened about fifteen years ago and it has never happened again. I should have taken pictures of it, but what was on my mind at that moment, was a possible major ant problem. I came in from work and found in the middle of the bathroom floor: An Ant Hill! With just a few ants roaming around. Those were the days when I was working two jobs and missed the building of the hill. The hill was about two inches tall (51mm)... Judging from seeing only a few aunts on the floor, at some point, the army decided that the bathroom was the wrong location for the hill and abandoned the effort.

I hope it was ants on the floor and not your aunts! laugh

minnieme2: I was kidding. 'On the floor' is another term for drunk here. Was picturing an aunts' booze up (party). No offence meant.
hmmm I did not think about that. The brush is so thick around here, that the ants may have stumbled upon a cannabis plant, got stoned and attempted to build a hill while messed-up.

Got stung on my foot once and it swelled up. They're bad boys alright but the environment needs them apparently. I heard there was a shortage and we might run out of honey!
The jar of watery marmalade trick has been around for years. Might have insect rights group after you though!

minnieme2: I went to the bottle bank today, battled with wasps and won! Go me!!
I may have been funny to watch, as I was like a nervous darts player. Only missed once though! Yay!

A 4 year old boy wasn't so lucky, when running from wasps. He got knocked down by a car. Reports say he's stable, thankfully. Poor kid.

I'd say we've nearly all ran from wasps as kids. Or mosquitos for those who live in the warmer countries.

All wasp stories welcome! bzzzz!


I had to google “bottle bank” uncertain

(recycling bin would be a more common term, unless you do have lots of empty bottles and need a bank for them laugh)

One of my projects needs some wasps to pollinate figs under greenhouses although it is a very specific and tiny one.

I do have a funny-story of ants, along with a wasted day of work, though.
