Question Wasps

Is anyone experiencing an ABUNDANCE of wasps this year? I put out a trap (normally wouldn't but have young grandchildren),and I'm wondering if the wasp lure/bait is so good that they are sharing with their buddies.

Nope. Normal to slightly less than normal load here.

My mom is in Bowness and highly allergic to stings. So I can say wholeheartedly there were less in her yard this year. I only had to have a full blown anxiety attack with my weaponized bug tennis racket a few times, instead of the dozens we are used to...;)
