Ruislip: What is it good for ......?

I think we'ld sooner forego GAH.
We do have 'normal' hornets in Ruislip,
much to the chagrin of local beekeepers,
and,
the wild bees that seem to maintain a population in our woods.

This old stump, carefully positioned to prevent access to a Council-owned rough meadow,
last year had a thriving hornet nest in the upper hole. They grudgingly allowed walkers to pass.
