New Bee
Just had a bad day, discovered one hive has been blitz .How should I protect the other hives
If you haven't already done so, reduce entrance size to 1cm or less.
The critical thing is not the size of the entrance but the depth. A 1cm 'tall' entrance still only represents one rank of defending honeybees if wasps fly straight to the entrance. A 'deeper' entrance will allow for multiple ranks of defending honeybees. Hopes this makes sense.
