[TowerTalk] Wasps in the Fall?

[Kim Elmore]

A couple of years ago, around this time, I chose a beautiful fall day to do some tower work. But as I got up there, the area was swarming with red wasps. They didn’t seem aggressive, but I beat a hasty exit. 2-3 h later, they’d vanished. I saw the same thing today: it seemed they were trying to go into booms and masts. They couldn’t get into booms because the ends are screened, but there were a LOT of them. 3-3 h later, they’d vanished. Anyone else see this sort of thing? Any idea what’s going on?
