Two Bones and a Bagle: This is for Ladybirds only

This is for Ladybirds only

Oh having a mini beast inspired day today. After saying I can tolerate wasps I have decided I can't. This house is for ladybirds and lacewings but Mr and Mrs Wasp and their huge family have decided that they want to make their home in it. No way Jose. What shall I do - think I will have to bin it. Any suggestions?

Cant see them but they are there - they are also going into the wall above my window. Helpppppppp

Just to say K did a bit of research on the tinternet and discovered they are not wasps but bees. Masonry bees that do not sting, don't harm your building and go away by June. So we are now happy for them to stay.

Have you tried drowning them by putting pop into a wasp trap at the side of the ladybird house?

Good luck!

Bee happy x

Strange Name

Quite simple really Dylan - our dog - loves to hide things around the house - especially food items. Now sometimes its one of his own treats, sometimes its a crust or a sweetie wrapper -he is a tinker. On one occasion in a mad episode of cleaning (not a favourite past time of mine) I moved the sofa low and behold I found two bones and a bagel - I immediately announced to Nellie (DD2) that it would be a fab name for a blog. So there you are the reason behind the name.

Doh in a Simpson's styleee just realised that in my blog name I have misspelt bagel - well it will have to stay as I have no intention or nowhow as to how to change my blog name. After all it has taken me two years to get around to/pluck up the courage to jump in = I don't want to spoil it now. LOL.
