No, no… I only meant the specific part about allowing wasps to eat away at one’s skin. It was intended as a joke; I’m sorry though, as this evidently involves someone who has since passed on.

i just wonder what’s so solitary about them; SoBeeCon?
The sound is soothing if they are merrily buzzing around, but as Soundtrack from a 50s horror movie?
Heck i’m even cool with wasps unless they start to inspect every possible cave in my face.
They haven’t any hive, each one makes a solitary hole (aerating my lawn for free) and puts a pollen ball and an egg in it. Every spring I have a week or so where they are active like that, thousands and thousands of them anywhere the soil is appropriate.
Some of their eggs will be parasitized by brilliantly metallic colored cuckoo wasps, which are smaller and harder to see but quite beautiful if you can spot one.
In the fall I will have a hundred or so beautiful, gem-like blue wasps that will array themselves in a grid in a different part of the yard. Each one will maintain distance from the others and buzz about diligently in that zone a few inches off the grass. I hope to figure out what they are and what they are up to, later this year!
