By August, they’re hard to miss—circling picnic tables, landing on lemonade cups, and building nests in the eaves. Yes, it’s wasp season on the prairie. As colonies shift and sugar cravings spike, wasps become more visible—and more likely to crash your barbecue. Entomologist John Gavloski explains what’s happening in the hive and how to stay safe, including one simple rule: if you find a nest, don’t go it alone—wait until evening and consider calling a pro. A calm approach can save you a sting. Cory Knutt with Discover Westman has the full story you should consider a must read if you’re entertaining outside.
