Interesting article in BBKA News, Feb 2019: 'Asian hornet:the sleepers awake.' The article describes two types of baffle, fixed to the front of the hive, used by the French.
The first, the muselier (=muzzle) is a cage made of 10mm mesh. It is briefly mentioned in the Asian hornet sticky.
The second, the bouclier (=shield) is a plastic cage with large holes marketed as 'Stop-it'

Both gadgets are said to dissuade hornets from hawking the bees.
