I would not be happy with those wasps but from our experience fountains are very troublesome things and require constant work to keep them operating. You quickly get tired of trying to make them work. Also the water reservoir required dries up very quickly here and from what I see you've had a hot Summer. Love gardens with cool, shady sitting areas. Do you have nasties like Mosquitos there ?Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.com
