Hi,
I keep seeing news feeds asking this question and I've also really noticed a decline in wasps this year too.
I work mainly outside and usually this time of year we generally have a problem with wasps.
In fact sometimes we've even had to wear those protective wasp proof suits in certain areas of our work place ,to protect our selves in the past.
This year however there's virtually none around.
I've noticed the same with birds too.
The dawn chorus you usually hear in the morning has been virtually none existant this year and my bird feeders have had very few visitors.
Years ago my car/motorcycle would be cover in squished bugs throughout the summer months but that's long gone.
But I have however seen a massive rise of seagulls coming further inland making a nuisance of them selves.
I don't think I can ever remember a year like this one for seeing a change in our environment.
What's going on?
