Hort - Q&A

Here’s a sample of horticultural questions received and answered by Adams & Juneau County Agricultural

Educator - Extension Agriculture Agent, Alana Voss or a Juneau County Master Gardener Volunteer. Have a

question or comment just call 608-847-9329 or email alana.voss@ces.uwex.edu

Q. How do you tell the difference between bees, wasps, and hornets this time of the year? A. This is a very common time of the year to see an increase in the movement of these insects. Social bees and wasps

live in colonies with multiple bees or wasps in their nests. Social wasps that can be found in this area include: Yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, and paper wasps. The social bees in the area include: Honey bees and bumble bees. See below for a quick reference guide for determining which six-legged friends you are seeing out and about this fall.

Yellow Jackets

Around ½” long

Bright yellow and have black lines, diamonds, spots, or triangles on their abdomen

Hard and shiny body with few hairs

Wings fold back into narrow strip above the body when resting

Feed on insects, spiders, caterpillars, flies, crickets and sources of sugar from human food or fruits **Note yellow jackets can become aggressive scavengers for human food**

Nesting sites can be found underground, hollow logs, buildings, in the attics and wall gaps

Bald-Faced Hornets

Large, around 7/8” long

All black with white or cream colored markings on their head and the end of their abdomen

Feed on insects, spiders, caterpillars, flies, crickets and sources of sugar from human food or fruits

Nesting sites include aerial nests out in the open such as in trees and under eaves of buildings

Paper Wasps

Thin bodied with long legs that are around ½” to 1” long and will dangle below their body when flying

Coloring is usually brown with yellowish-colored markings

European paper wasps are black and yellow and look very similar to yellow jackets coloring and bodies like a typical paper wasp

Feed on insects, spiders, caterpillars, flies, crickets and sources of sugar from human food or fruits or nectar

Nesting sites are normally found under any horizontal surface such as limbs, overhangs, building eaves, beams in the attics, barns, garages, and sheds ** Note European paper wasps will also build on vertical surfaces and in cavities**

Honey Bees

Around ½” long

Golden Brown color with thin black stripes on their abdomen

Appear very fuzzy

Hind legs are partially flattened for collecting pollen

Feed on nectar, pollen, and water

Nesting sites are usually in manufactured hives, but will nest in cavities in trees, building wall voids

Bumble Bees

Size varies from less than ½” to 1”

Appear very fuzzy

Mainly black and yellow for coloring

Has a round shape

Feed on nectar, pollen, and water

Nesting site is traditionally underground in open rodent holes or cavities, under compost piles and under objects on the ground **Note some may choose to nest higher up in trees or cavities such as bird houses or bird nests**

Hort - Q&A Continued

Q. My grapes did not do well this year. Where can I learn more about growing grapes and improving my grapes for next year?

A. There is a great publication on growing grapes on the learning store website. It is called “Growing Grapes in

Wisconsin” and has great information broke down into sections. The first section discusses how to start grapes by knowing what needs to be done for the soil, the correct cultivars to use, and the best trellising and training techniques for your plants. It then breaks down the management practices to follow during the growing season to improve your grape production. You can learn more by following this link https://learningstore.uwex.edu/Growing-Grapes-in-Wisconsin-P751.aspx and click the PDF file for viewing the publication. You can print this right in the comfort of your own home.

Another really great option, to keep yourself up-to-date on growing grapes in Wisconsin is by following the Wisconsin Fruit news and the UW Fruit Program. You can check out this site by following this link https://fruit.wisc.edu/grapes/ . You can even sign up for their newsletter to learn about any diseases or pest problems that are showing up in Wisconsin fruit crops.

Lastly, if you bring in samples or photos of your grape plants, we can help determine any diseases or pests that may be causing your grape plants to not do well. This year has been a cool and wet year causing many diseases to flare up on grape plants. Also, Japanese Beetles have been extremely harsh this year to many crop productions. We can help to find out what is wrong and get you information
