I have a weird thing happening with my pine tree and I'm not sure what to do. It's all of a sudden dropping this shiny looking stuff into the ground and it's attracting wasps like crazy. Usually the wasps hang out in the tree and don't bother us, but now with this stuff on the ground they are getting aggressive.
Any ideas? I looked on the tree for aphids as Google was saying this might be honeydew but didn't see any with the naked eye. Didn't want to get too close though. Maybe just wash it away at night and hopefully that solves it?
Unrelated, but the sand work in between our patio blocks are starting to get warn you away with time and insects (mostly ants and birds). Is there a company that can come out and do some maintenance on the stone work?
