They also did this thing about Legoland. Because of the warm summer there has been a population explosion in wasps.
Now, to be fair there has been an increase this year, but they don't bother you unless you bother them by flailing your hands dramatically around like Brian Dowling.
Anyway. I had a great idea. Why not capture some of the little buggers and then attach nano-homing beacons to them. That way you can track them back to their nests later on in the evening and eradicate them.
I would like £250,000 for 5% of my business.
Peter Jones >> Have you got a patent for the thing ?
James Khan >> What are the figures for last year? How many wasps were bummed?
Debra >> I have to say this is one of the most ridiculous ideas ever.
Bannatyne >> I have no idea about wasps and I do not care about them, so I am out.
Theo >> I cannot believe you came here with some halk baked idea about wasps and asking for my grand daughter's inheritance money.

It required a binbag to get rid of it.
Quite empty by the time it was found.
I have 3 tennis ball sized nests in my garage, but they were all abandoned early in the season.
I'm rather more upset about the bumble bee nest drowning in a deluge though.

I have an empty wasp nest in my loft the size of a premiership football, along with quite a few small attempts tennis ball size. Not ventured up there for a while, but only commented the other day that we hadn't seen any wasps about, certainly not the volumes needed to occupy the massive nest.

I'e been stung once. Felt weird for a day and my arm went a funny colour so for that reason, I'm out.
