Wasp problems
« on: August 23, 2020, 03:29:39 pm »
I have noticed a lot of wasps around the hives and am a little worried. I actually saw one go into the hive. I am thinking it?s too late for traps to be effective and the only thing I could think of was to reduce the entrance to the hive. Any tips on what else I can do would be great

As long as the hives are strong, reducing the entrances should be all the help they need.  What kind of wasps are you seeing?
I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.

I looked online and the closest thing I could see was the common Yellowjacket. I also saw what I think was a Single bald faced hornet
