They are more than welcome to nest in the garden, then. In my living
space,
they come under the category of unwanted pests !

They need a very sheltered place to nest. Remember that their nest is paper
and vulnerable to weather. One type of wasp excavates holes in the ground to
nest - would you like that?

I know where you are coming from (having followed your beekeeping posts),
but am still struggling to get my head around the idea that a function of my
house is to provide additional accommodation for unwanted guests ;-)

Presumably wasps managed just fine before we erected nice cosy brick huts
for them, at a guess by nesting in tree trunks ? There are plenty of trees
in my garden...
