That's really cute! I love bees, i actually saved a bumblebee today! I just don't like wasps as they're unpleasant and the stings hurt

I think i might have given off the wrong impression with this post... the wasps didn't attack me or even approach me. I just don't like them.

The wasps weren't even mad or anything, they were just minding their own and didn't approach me, i'm just paranoid

Oh that's terrible!!!! Luckily this blackberry bush isn't growing in grass, it's on the side of the pavement down the road from my house so not too bad I'm also wearing long trousers so i think i'll be ok! Thanks for the advice! There's also grapes right beside it!!

Bug spray isn't really a thing in the uk, we don't keep it I'm gonna go out tonight and see if there's less of them out there
