From astronomy to geology, biology to environmental science. You set the agenda and our panel of scientists and conservationists come up with the answers." Richard Daniel PROGRAMME DETAILS Tuesday 28 August 2007 Panel This week's guests: Baroness Barbara Young, Chief Executive of the Environment Agency for England & Wales Dr Nick Riley, Programme Manager for Sustainable Energy and Geophysical Surveys at the British Geological Survey Professor Philip Stott TOPICS Wasp Watch Home Planet is asking listeners to keep an eye out for wasps as our resident entomologist Richard Jones believes this could be a bumper year for the yellow and black insects. The dry April allowed them to build their nests in ideal circumstances whereas the past few years have seen wet or cold springs. Peak wasp time is late August to early September but Richard asks people to start watching from now. If you see unusually large numbers of wasps, or fewer than normal, please email and let us know, putting Wasp Watch as the subject of the email. It would be a great help if you could identify the species of wasp.
