Wasps don't swarm like bees, there will be a nest somewhere if your seeing that many thanks , will let you know how i get on, had 2 wacks off them , be glad to see the back of them. do they serve a purpose as such ,/ i know bees are very important , watched a program about bees if they disappear , it would affect us getting food etc .
