Dropped into Gelatissimo on
Baylis Street Wagga Wagga where they serve the best gelato in the world. Roma,
eat ya heart out! A sign in the store read, Please beware of the bees flying
around. According to the manager the store is under siege by tiny black and
yellow insects that “pack a painful punch”, but she added that nobody
had been stung. A local beekeeper told her “not to kill the bees because
it will attract more.” Not much to go on but, given the circumstances –
the insects appear to be attracted to the sweet fare, I wonder if they’re
bees or wasps. I asked Ms. Gelato to catch one in a jar so I could take it for identification
but she would not oblige, had no jars.
