Jeez, Rivka, I said I was joking. If I can be Elmer Fudd can't I imagine you as Snowhite? Anyway it amazes me that your wasps never become a problem with damaging fruit as it is quite common here. They have even sucked the juice out of grapes protected by nylon stocking. I know the difference between bird damage and wasp damage and wasps are often more destructive here only they don't fly away when you approach the tree. This doesn't mean that I attempt to eliminate wasps from my property, but in a bad year when there is a population explosian and yellow jackets seem to be swarming my entire property and guests won't even stand outside I will attempt to reduce the population.
Maybe if I gentally relocated their nests they'd return the kindness and stop chewing holes in my fruit and maintain reasonable population control.
