STOP BEFORE YOU SWAT!
WHAT IS THE POINT IN WASPS????
Before you take up the magazine or tea towel ready to attack STOP!
Picture the scene, you’ve been working flat out without a break for months, you got made redundant from your job, you’re feeling useless and unfocussed and disorientated with your purpose in life. You try to drown your sorrows, a binge of a night from hell, had more than one too many and are feeling the need for a full fat can of coke or a dirty burger. Your mates have all lost their jobs too, your phones been lost, and you have no means of communicating with your mates other than to shout for help frantically.
You just need SUGAR!
We’ve all been there or can at least relate to that feeling right?
This is exactly the state that our UK wasps are feeling right now.
These hard-working male pollinators have been busy protecting species like us and Bees, by keeping the numbers of damaging insects like aphids, ants and caterpillars in check.
Without them it’s likely that human life would not survive.
So please be kind when you are having a few drinks in the garden with your friends, or a family BBQ, when a load of pesky wasps arrive to spoil the party. You swatting at them makes them frantically shout out for help and then their mates will turn up to join in, so instead, be kind, leave them a sugary drink nearby to where you sit and allow them to enjoy their last few days of summer because their destiny is now death after looking after you and your planet.
Is a bit a sugar and a natural death too much to ask?
