a lot of damage unless they're in serious numbers. There's also a tiny wasp predator called Encarsia Formosa which you can buy.  The problem with using predators like these is the cost (they don't come cheap) and there is always a minimum temperature by COGIE

Talkback: Bug box
children can easily assemble. Any ideas? I’ve recently made a bee/bug box but have noticed wasps have taken up residence. Knowing nothing about wasps other than the obvious will they make a nest in the box could it be a problem and should I get rid of it by Gray Colt

miles from the city center! We resisted interfering with a busy wasp nest throughout the summer and have now been rewarded by an insight into the most intricate and amazing construction of the nest. the wasp was the Norwegian wasp common in Aberdeenshire by Dawn Hambleton

Talkback: Blackfly on broad beans
wonder if wasps also eat the blackfly as our beans are clean this year but we have 2 wasp nests one in a concrete bird box & one in an old dovecote. If I am to continue growing Vegs I must get a way of controlling SLUGS. Would it help if I grew a lot by hereisabee

Talkback: Bee roads
to Novice JoanUnlike wasps and honeybees, bumblebees are very docile nesters. For one thing there are far fewer of them in the small untidy nest, probably only a couple of hundred at the height of the season, where wasps may have 10 – 12,000 and honeybees up by hereisabee
