I bow to your superior knowledge.

Provided there are no wasps in the thing I'm sure the nest is very

They're not nasty.

I disagree. They are rather too aggressive for my liking, unlike
bees which are welcome.

Wasps and honey bees can appear agressive if you're thinking
anthropomorphically but they are both defensive. Wasps are more intelligent
than bees, they've evolved further..

I wonder if you're thinking about bumble bees which are less defensive (but
wll sting) or solitary bees which can't sting ... it's a very bit subject
which I've studied for many years.
