Is anyone else concerned about the bees because I am

I don't know how many s**t summers it will take to wipe them all out

I'm concerned that they will become extinct

They're more at risk from pesticides than poor weather. Fortunately we're out of the EU now so we can use the really nasty ones.

Either way, if the bees are f****d, so are we.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking

I wish wasps were extinct. I love bees though.

I've only seen about 3 wasps this summer as well and I'm usually plagued with them where I live

You don't tend to see wasps much until later in the summer once their breeding cycle is over. That's when they turn into pests and start trying to lick our ice lollies because they haven't got anything else to do.

They're actually just as valuable as bees when it comes to pollinating plants, they just have a worse rep because they're more aggressive.

I have to have mosquito nets up at all my windows because of the wasps

They don't actually bother me but my daughter is terrified of them

When I got my new kitchen they found a nest in the wall behind the cupboard

We have lots of hornets here. I don't mind hornets, they're not great at flying though which makes it seem like they're going to crash into you. Much less aggro than wasps. The european ones anyway.

We had a hornets nest in our chimney last year which was a pita though. Every day 4 or 5 hornets would come down the chimney and fly around the living room. I can live without that.

Yeah I could easily live without that too

One crawled in my croc and stung my toe when i put it on.

Watching Spain v Croatia in the Euros.

In fact it's absolutely dead outside my flat today

I think everyone must be watching the game
