Bill Oddie warned us years ago.
Only had a couple in my front garden.
Couple of wasps in the house ,that's it.

Just one fella

Our garden (as small as it is) seems to have to still be attracting them. And sand martins in our area have been doing very well this year.

A quick search brought this article up in Das Telegraph:

Experts warn of bumblebee decline after record rainfall in spring

A third of Britain’s 24 bee species listed as conservation priority amid large decrease in distribution

www.telegraph.co.uk

Thought this would have been obvious.

Absolute horrors.

Did a run last year in Cheshire last year, where the route went past a nest in a hollow tree, which had somehow been missed by the organisers.

Three ladies in front of me got attacked by a swarm of them as they ran past the nest.

They ended up in a really bad way and had to go to hosy.

They had seemed to be been a bit scarce this summer, however I walked past hugely over grown lavender bush this morning that was absolutely covered in both honey bees and their bigger bumbling brethren.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen so many at one plant, must have been 30-40 buzzing about it.

I am allergic to bee stings or a wasp stings - I have to take a tablet after the sting
