jmurph101 24 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 had a callout yesterday for a suspected wasp nest in an oak tree, as i approached i was surprised to see not only wasps, but honey bees, and a hornet, feeding off the sap coming from the tree, i spoke to the customer, and they told me the bark had slowly turned black from the bottom up in the last few weeks, had a little look online and sounds and looks very much like acute oak decline disease, turns out the sap that comes from the bark is really sugary, and seemed to be attracting just about everything to it. anybody else come across or experienced this? they've now got a specialist coming out to check the tree, am intrigued to find out what it is, any ideas anyone? or am i way off haha. cheers Quote Link to post
