Sgwrs Sadwrn: Cacwn - ffrind neu elyn? | Sgwrs: Wasps, Friend or Foe?

Yn aml mae brwydyr yn rhwng y cacwn a'n hufen iâ - ond beth yw eu gwir stori? ** In summer you'll often see a wasp swatting dance whilst trying to enjoy ice cream, but what do wasps really mean to you? Friendly pollinator, or ice cream stealing foe?

  • Booking not needed

Come and join Kevin, our Collections Officer, for an open discussion on the ever divisive wasp. Kevin is a font of all knowledge when it comes to all insects that grace our beautiful estate with their presence, join him for an insightful talk in to the life cycle of a wasp. Explore (dormant) nests, and really learn how these magnificent little creatures make our world go around, before heading out in to the parkland to see evidence of their little lives.
