Willy the Wasp For Jan Allison

We were replacing burned out outside light bulbs at clubhouse. A wasp had built a nest in the top of one of them. Two wasps bit my thumb and it swelled all up. Here is my poem related to this incident. Willy the Wasp There once was a wasp whose name was Willy And some people thought he was really silly Fluttering in between humming bird feeders Thinking his food was measured by meters. Had been some things unbeknownst to me Where would Willy the Wasp possibly be Some say after he had heard nature calling Started playing around with all the pollen. Willy would distribute it here and there And ended up all over and everywhere Results of his efforts had made much room For fragrant flowers who wanted to bloom. After all of Willy's history we would inspect He helps keeping control of a certain insect, And when you like us find yourself frugal Can find insect name through use of Google. Jim Horn

Ahh another bee! We have enough bees lol. I don't know about them being that productive, James. As long as they are not being productive around me I am fine. They like to build nest I know that. Just took down a second honeycomb thing. Done with it already. Cute one, James

LOL thank you so much James - I will favourite this one... I have never seen a wasp in my greenhouse pollinating my plants - they are too busy buzzing round when I am eating... and unfortunately wasps also have a very nasty sting in their tail! Hugs Jan xxx
