De...John, well that's a mystery to me as well!<br /><br />Denise, it is surprising how great was our desire to defend the hive from those hornets, and we are now checking on those girls almost hourly. Lester got two more yesterday!<br /><br />Ken, I used to have net curtains up at the windows in the UK and that seemed to stop most insects from coming in. Here we keep the windows closed because of mozzies, but we have enough fresh air coming into the house because of the drafts which still zoom all about the house!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-12987822602652605592013-10-01T23:56:37.676+02:002013-10-01T23:56:37.676+02:00We've got "euro" wasps which are big...We've got "euro" wasps which are big massive wasps and I could do with finding the nest and ending them really as it means we can even crack a window open at night for fear of them coming in. <br />Your figs sound great. <br />The dog poos do not!Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-86718216291608575542013-10-01T21:22:59.665+02:002013-10-01T21:22:59.665+02:00Huzzah!!

I would do the same.

Will keep a lookout though.<br /><br />Tommo, I agree, and so does Boolie because the hornets tend to want to sting him, for some reason!<br /><br />The Broad, figs nearly finished but they have been a good harvest this year. I suppose fly swatting does keep the men amused!<br /><br />Jessica, Lester climbs the fig tree, I just stand and stretch! Hope you don't get into a bother with those hornets either!<br /><br />Ohiofarmgirl, yay indeed!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-85376400182062313602013-10-01T14:40:20.488+02:002013-10-01T14:40:20.488+02:00yay Lester!

The hornet problem this year was not as bad as in the past, nevertheless, my husband did get stung once when pulling the shutter across. Enjoy the figs, Vera!<br />The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-3124676340775242532013-10-01T11:26:13.228+02:002013-10-01T11:26:13.228+02:00Damned hornets.

We had a big one in our Oak tree last year. It was removed for us and we have not noticed any more. You certainly do not need them around now you have your bees working.
