    Asian Bees know how to deal with Asian Hornets, Europian Bees don't.

    If the Asian bees surround the hornet & beat thier wings it will raise the tempreture too high for the Hornet to suvivive .

    The Europian bees just attack to no avail, Hornets just rips thier heads off.

    Sozz for the spelling, am pissed :p

    At which point chop an apple in half and put it in an out of the way corner of the garden...they will head straight for it and ignore everything else . They love sugar that's why they hang around beer gardens and people sipping coke.

    White,anglo-Saxon protestants have no business being in anyone's garden unless specifically invited. Could be classed as a criminal offence/trespass. The month is irrelevant. Just thought I'd say.

    What use are wasps? One arrived in my conservatory this aft. It went after a while. It could have been a fly in a rugby shirt though!

    We had a wasp nest in the ground. At the side of the house, some kid spent time poking it with a stick and throwing footy at it then told me “my wasps” had stung him, I came out and they were in such a fury I got stung straight away. 2 cans of this foam stuff soon got them to **** that night.

    They eat lots of garden pests & insects. We need them more than you'd think!

    They're queen wasps coming out of hibernation. There'll be loads after the mild winter.
    Make sure they don't start a new nest in your garden by squashing them now if you don't like wasps.

    Wasps ARE the gardeners friend....once had 3 nests in the small garden we have and no stings or aphids....just stop flapping your arms and they go away!!!..1 human will be 100000+ times the size of a wasp and scared of it....get a grip..they aren't even armed with a newspaper !!!
