I'd also go along with the idea that they are queen wasps. April seems
to be the usual time to see them. Someone in my old home town (Rushden,
Northants) reported a lot of wasps around their house a few days ago, so
many that they thought there must be a nest.
I had two wasp nests in my loft a few years ago. I called the free
pest service in the nearest town (Stockport). A man came and put a
pile of some white powder in my loft. He did not remove the nests. He
said the wasps will die and he was right. Every time I opened the loft
door lots of dead wasps fell out.
The good news is that the wasps control many other annoying little
bugs around the garden. In my 70 years I have found the wasps stings I
have had are not has painful as the bee stings I have had.
