Wasp Wars

I have a lovely old apple tree in my yard which has had an abundance of apples this year.  I have gathered many many apples to use, but every day I find more bird pecked, bug eaten ones on the ground and since several branches hang over my driveway I need to rake them up and throw them away so they don't get squashed beneath tires.  Today I went out to do that job only to discover that the wonderful smushy apples had been discovered by wasps who didn't think much of my clean up plan. So, being adverse to wasp stings, I came back in the house, with plans to mount my attack on a chillier day, when the wasps, I hope, will be snoozing.  Wise wasp war warriors know when to retire.
