Had a call out this afters. Wasps nest in the lawn. Lady of the house in a major flap. And there's me, trying my level damdest to just be retired!

 

F**k all there. Heard a buzzing. Saw a wasp in the kitchen. Slapped the red button!

 

I was explaining this to my mate, later. I said; " Yeah. We've even got a proper term for shit like this. .......... What the hell is it, now? ' Delusional parasiti .....'? 'Psychotic Parasitic ....'? F**k it. In this case? 'Paranoid, Delusional f**king German woman wasting my time!'.

 

F**king people!

Had a few calls for Bumble bees myself last year. My initial reaction; ‘should hope I’m never that f*****g desperate’.

 

But now I’ve been told, the Bumble bees I had call outs for (the big ones that look like a child would draw - black stripe, yellow stripe, black stripe, white stripe) are bees that people with orchards, glass houses, polly tunnels, etc buy-in and then let go to pollinate the crop.

 

So these ones are feral bees, invasives even – therefore (to my mind) a fair target for a puff of ficam. Is that true or not?

No wasps as yet, but caught up about seven swarms so far, all really good size and healthy, we have filled all our hives so now need to go and buy a few more.

Went out to bumble bees yesterday

 

There was about 20 flying round and round the front of the nest all young bees

 

This is something I wouldn't expect to see for another 4 or 5 weeks

 

The wasps haven't quite made a start yet

 

Hoping for a good year

 

Had a contract with the local council up till April the best year I had with them I did 1124 wasp nests

 

That was 3 or 4 years back May be even 5

 

I used to get between 600 and 800 a season in a normal season

The majority of the bumble bees that people will call about are not white tail bumbles, but tree bumbles (Bombus Hypnorum) they are about half the size of a white tail (they also have a white tail) but like to nest up high, hence why people phone saying they have a wasp nest in their roof. Relatively new to the UK, been here about 10 years.

 

Over the weekend i must have fielded about 70- calls for these.

do you need qualifications to do wasps etc? only wondering cause a guy was talking about doing it the other day and said you didn't need them but I wasn't sure.

[Outlaw Pete 2,224]

An ebay account just about covers it, today, mate.
