Pardon me chaps but unless I am mistaken, this is not an African hornet and checking his address; he aint in Zambia where biting things can be rather nasty.

It's nice to have a wander down memory lane now and again.
Did I ever tell you what happened to old Ponsonby-Smythe?
Maybe tomorrow.
Back on topic. If the nest and occupants can be a nuisance, the local Council will get rid of it for you.

Just for interest, does anyone know if their sting is fundamentally similar to a wasp?
If it is (which I presume) I'm not too terrified, but if it has any similarity to a bee sting I would be worried.
I used to keep bees, but developed a very serious allergy to their stings, and was almost at the point of carrying an auto-injector against anaphylactic shock.
After a serious rollicking from the doctor I reluctantly got rid of my bees, and I still miss them!
Well now, this little thread takes me back a few years to when I was taking two young ladies to a party, (I was just the wheels to them) anyway I was driving along and I suddenly felt something moving about between me and the seat of my trousers, then it stung me very high up my right leg.
Within the space of a few seconds i had stopped the car and was standing on the side of the road with my trousers around my ankles. The two girls looking quite amused.
Yes, the sting was about the same strength as a wasps, but I wouldn't want to repeat the process.

I wasnt aware they were disturbed by the magnetic field of electrical equipment and instinctively batted one away with my left hand while using the cicular saw i d just started....
on xray of my second finger , you could see a perfect cut angled like the blade teeth half way through the last tiny bone and I had to have 4 stitches on what looked like a lump of bloodied meat on the end.... No anathetic given in italy ... It s taken 15 years to lose most of the numbness in the finger,but i realise how lucky i was in not stuffing my hand in.
