Living in the bush and being a beekeeper, I have been severely impacted by European wasps. They have, at times, destroyed much of my fruit and killed some of my hives. Therefore, I have spent some considerable time researching and looking for ways to eradicate them, to find that it is only possible to control them and lessen their impact on fruit crops and bee colonies, rather than eradicate them.

I would like to thank my dear friend and neighbor, Andrea Long, and my son Thomas for their assistance in formatting this little book and correcting my grammatical and punctuation errors.
