It isn't just towers either. I had a problem with my Dish from
Dishnetwork 4 weeks ago. The guy who came out came prepared with
bee-spray. Since I'd noticed them up there before, I asked about it.
He said the dish had about 300 wasps that he killed by the time he
was done with it, and he'd already been stung 3 times before he got
to my house that day. He said it's like an epidemic...just about
everywhere he goes (upstate NY), the antennas are stuffed with bees
of some sort.

I've seen that here too. No idea what the cause is.
In situations like that we just get up really early in the morn and
work before it warms up.
I HATE those danged things. Never had them around here till the
last several years. I'd never even seen one as a kid.

Subject: [WISPA] OT: Wasps
Does anyone know what causes the swarming behavior in wasps around
towers. I dont mean a few of them hanging out having a smoke and
sharpening their stingers. I mean the big swarms of hundreds. We
were at 4 different locations yesterday. All of them were
unclimbable due to swarms of wasps. No nests on the structures
either.
Thanks
Chris
