Hadn't even thought of it till you mentioned it! No wasps here, at least there's one upside to the dire summer!

I wonder what effect the lack of wasps would have on plants and other insects...

I'm not a fan of wasps at all. I've been stung a few times and I've been wary ever since. I like to watch and listen to bees bumbling about though.

No I'm not. There is no way to get them out alive with a pitched roof, trust me I have tried everything. If I dont do it this way they will fall on the floor during the night and then my toddler will stand on them.

that is such a shame. I see your reasons now. Is there any way you could find out which way they come in and close that route up? Bees follow a flight pattern so their pattern must run close to your conservatory and some wander in. They probably only come in through one door or window.
