Wasps will also cut neat pieces out of meat and carry them off if you are eating outdoors. I provide the 'Chairman's Fieldtrip' picnic for my geology group. We were unloading last year when someone realised there was an active wasp nest close to where I had intended setting up. I moved everything about 10 metres away, provided said nest with a selection of 'goodies' and we were not bothered at all. Hornets have a bad reputation but I've photographed many of them foraging and rescued a few as well. And yes, wasp nests are superb. I've seen a very large one dug out of somebody's garden and you can only wonder at the skill and effort involved
I've seen wasps cutting up meat too DorsetUK Years ago my father and I were sat outside with some food when a wasp removed a small piece of ham and flew off with it. The amazing thing was, it seemed to communicate it with the rest of the wasps because others came in, a bit like flights at an airport, and as one one flying away with some ham another was was cutting a slice. Extraordinary
