    Its something I may get into sometime and in anticipation I've planted lots of Lime trees!

    I think to start off, get to know local bee keepers and attend a beginner course

    If this is something you get going with, it would be great if you would share experiences here...if it allows any time :)

    Visit you local DIY Store. There are several Wasp and Wasp Nest killers available. Now is the time to do it. Ideally you should also block up their access.

    BTW: It's a Wasp Nest as opposed to a Hornets Nest.
