    Watford Hornets are much nicer, just not on the football pitch! As for the Asian variety? I'll get my air rifle and shoot the blighters! (being very polite)

          I like your thinking @Jiffy ;):scratch: think you would have to use essential oils not plants if you do, but remember bees don’t like either of them.. :thumbsup:

            As we had a bad year for any honey bee (none) it wouldn't make much differents but we did have lots of bubble bees so i wont be using any anyway, any Hornets that are about don't last long :catapult:
