I came across a disturbed wasp
nest. It was quite a large one constructed underground (most are) beneath a
stone that had been moved. The nest is now exposed to the elements and unlikely
to survive. I always find it sad that such industry and goodwill from this
maligned insect is overlooked. It is probably the most important organic weapon
in the fight against insect pests we have. In my garden I have sat and
sunbathed by a wasp nest all summer without any issue whatsoever. Sure they
will become a bit lively when annoyed but if you don’t annoy them they are
fine. Hard job to get the message across though.
Reformation
has comes swiftly
The paper empire crumbles Dissolute in
the evening rain Setting aside
all work and hope Drowning their
world forever The fluid of
their corruption Pours out from
the evening sky Into the
chambers of a hundred queens That will
never now grace the spring
