    Today I let a wasp, yes a wasp out of the upstairs room. Don't know where it came from where it was going to, just thought what the hell, it's April and a dam cold April at that. Is this result of Global warming, a confused wasp?

    What out of the ordinary things have you seen which made you think the whole world is out of sync?

    They camp out in houses over winter and wake up to wreak havoc about now. Sneaky little feckers.

    September is when the workers start to die off. They know they're doomed so they're extra stingy. It's the queens that you see in spring.

    Don't kill the bees, they serve an important function.

    He/she was probably hibernating in the curtain in the room and got woken up(maybe because you had the heating on and he thought it was summer?).

    Re: Global Warming. If the earth is getting warmer why are our summers still as cold as wet as 30 years ago but our winters are colder?

    This is in fact when wasps emerge. It's normally April-May so there's nothing unusual happening at all.

    No it means I'm pretty sure I read that they were but am open to correction.

    Edit: apologies, it was warmest years not summers i should have said. 2012 and 2010 both in top ten: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_temperature_record
