More Info on Bees and Wasps
The hymenopteran insects known as wasps can also pose quite a severe threat to the safety of humans and animals.
Many species are capable of inflicting severe stings but two species which have gained prominence in some parts of Australia are the European wasp (Vespula germanica) and the English wasp (Vespula vulgaris).
Both of these species have been introduced from overseas. The European wasp can now be found in Tasmania, Victoria and Sydney
Removing honey bee nests from cavities (walls of houses, hollow trees) is a time-consuming, labour-intensive practice that should be undertaken by professionals.
Continuous honey bee flight activity to and from a hole in a building is an indication of a nest. Many times, this can be confirmed by listening for bees buzzing inside.
