and made a dash back to the main building followed by a buzzing swarm. It was a
bad summer for wasps. We had 5 nests around the farmhouse, and as we found out
later, 2 in the barn. The pest control companies were busy and it took a long
time before they got round to us and anyone could safely get access back to the
barn, where we also stored one set of offsite backups.
