WHEN a woman in Winchester, Hampshire, opened the door to her rarely-used guest room she discovered a giant wasps' nest containing around 5,000 insects on the bed!

She had to call in pest control expert John Birkett, who told the Daily Mirror: “In 45 years I have never seen anything like it. At one stage there must have been 2,000 wasps buzzing around me. If someone had gone in to the room and not known what it was, it would have been pretty serious.”
