Not so much a fan of wasps, but my dad keeps honey bees. What's really cool is he used to have an observation hive in the shop (only 2 layers thick) so you could pretty much see everything. We'd also go down and look for the queen. She was quite noticeable because of her size. That hive isn't there any more because it costs too much to heat the shop room through the winter for them, but it was cool while we had it.
That's awesome.
On cool mornings I go out and look for wasp. Here are a couple of repost.
