Pacific Northwest Gardening: Worried about the bees, 1 by Soferdig

OK Julie I am sorry for your allergy to wasps. But I have to again defend my friends of the garden. Wasps eat more aphids than any creature alive during the nesting and feeding of the early larvae. No lady bug ever ate 1/10 of a wasps voracious appetite. This year my wasps have emerged late and the aphid colonies have been horrible. I have actually had to spray water on many plants that before were untouched. Mostly the ones to worry about are the ones near your doors and those I move up to my second story with a garbage bag and hang it there with a fish net. They seem to accept that penthouse without worry. After removing the plastic and running like he**.
We have had over 10 to 30 nests without any problems for over 8 years after I watched a parasitised bush swarming with wasps eating the aphids. Late in September they get hungry for meat and fruit so that is when a couple of stings get us. But no biggie with me. Karen just sprays benadryl and uses ice and I care for her as any good husband should. LOL
This is not aphids but need to get one of them at work with them.
