Waz 4,266 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Was a very harsh winter by me, so unfortunately the ol wasps & hornets might have took a bit of a battering ne'er mind, last year werent too bad Edited June 20, 2012 by GD Waz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Been too cold for the little fuckers and i'm glad. Dogs were stung loads of times last year and the amount of nests i found dug out by badgers was unreal. Couldn't go a walk without getting stung... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'd be glad if I never ever saw one again lab. Pointless things , there some purpose is to sting folk lol First time last year the big dog got stung i could see him running through the wood then fall down, get up and fall down, get up and fall down. He wasn't whining or nothing but eventually got to me and he was covered in wasps. I knocked them off but there was loads about so i decided to get out of there pronto incase the other dogs got stung. Got along the road a bit and he fell over again....there was one wee b*****d right up in side his front leg, stinging away..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Cheers John that clears up why I ain't seen any. Hey like I said earlier I have bumble bees in an old bird box at my front door. Do they hibernate in there or will they die off John? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Keswick 119 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 They will be gone at the end of the summer, if they aint stinging you leave them alone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
