I haven't noticed any wasps yet this year, we don't usually see them here until July/August, I think. <br /><br />I feel quite confident with bees or wasps in the garden or house. My husband and I are quite sure they wouldn't hurt one unless they are in severe danger, in your case it was unfortunate that you laid or sat on it and it stung you in desperation, as I guess you are a little heavier than him, and were literally in the act of killing it. We try and keep a wild life garden and feel that all the little critters are out there just endeavouring to live their own busy lives, fighting against the elements and searching for food and have no malicious feelings towards us. <br /><br />It's lovely to hear from you. <br /><br />Barbara xxFlashinScissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408946289711452871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-85564920281049011112015-06-10T06:58:01.945+01:002015-06-10T06:58:01.945+01:00I like the look of your bug hotel ,but I am not so...I like the look of your bug hotel ,but I am not so sure of the bugs,having been recently stung by a wasp in bed!jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399291168901237105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652096409954439984.post-20592341499364626842015-06-02T23:33:02.726+01:002015-06-02T23:33:02.726+01:00Thank you for stopping by my blog recently.

Oh, I already love it here at The Flashing Scissors...this post is full of good information, I'd like to explore providing habitat for solitary bees as well.

Have you seen Peggy's beehives as well as her bees in a box? And the bumblebees in her photos next to plants look different to bumblebees. I must take a picture of our bumblebees next!
