Not everyone is happy to simply destroy every creature that gets in the way of their perfectly ordered world.

There are about 7 species of wasps in the UK. I've found the ground-nesting ones here and at my last home 100 miles away to be very placid.Last week I went over a ground nest with the mower, but although agitated, the wasps never strayed more than a metre from the hole and soon a calmed-down. I was able to carry on mowing nearby without any problems.
