    paper wasps are not “chill little dudes”

    one of the most painful experiences of my life. a dozen stings on my left hand and for a moment i didn’t even know what was happening to me. As painful as a good dose of 220 volts through your arm

    i still kept them around though. As a gardener, they’re your friends. i stopped using those tools around which they built their hive

    When you pass by their hive, they follow your movements. They turn to keep you in sight … one feels them staring 😬
