Go outside with a grown-up and look at sheltered places from a safe distance. Check eaves, porch corners, shed edges, and branches without reaching toward them. Talk about which spaces would be safe for people and which spaces might be useful for wasps.
Draw two places: one spot that would be fine for an out-of-the-way wasp nest and one spot that would be too close to a door, path, or play area.
Think About It: Why does a good nest location need to work for both the wasps and the people nearby?
Grandma’s reminder:
“Wes is not a villain because he is a wasp. He is a neighbor with a paper nursery and very strong opinions about personal space.”
