They are very active but not aggressive ... Exposed full south just next to the washing lines ... We can quietly do what we have to do without them coming around us ( I would even say nicer than bees)


Nothing found here, quite a few wasps, hornets (not seen an Asian, good news). Finally, a population I would say normal, even a little low. It is very variable from year to year.

I have a nest in the ground ..... And indeed ... They are less nice than those which have their nest in the window of my basement ....

I dismantled an old 205 which was sucking in my garden ..... 7 nests

The only thing safe in the future. It is that there may chance that it conforms to our expectations ...

With all the odds and ends that I have to be careful because they make their nests (here only small) everywhere.


Voilou and sometimes I forget them and I shake them a little but for the moment everything is going well between us : Lol: but I did not go so far as to open the tarpaulin to better photograph them Image

There are 2 nests one above the other
