We have them here every year. They nest in dead trees around here. We look forward to seeing the first queens in spring.
Sometimes they go off course and end up in the kitchen. All they want to do is get out, by buzzing the window. Just a glass and envelope, and we let them go.
Aren't they beautiful! They eat aphids, wax moth,so a beekeeper's friend, and other pests.
If you are easily scared, then yes, they buzz. They are protected in Germany now, because so many people killed them. Like people killed snakes in the UK in times past.
But we know better now, right? I think people like to have a 'scary' thing to attack.
