close the entrance down

Close it down to one or two Bee spaces and keep a very close eye on it.

Put some wasp traps around a little way off the hive to try to tempt them elsewhere.

you didnt give much info on the hive being attacked so I presume it is either weak or a nuc. If a nuc you can close the entrance for a day or two as long as they have food and ventilation.

I'm starting to feel quite blessed by the lack of wasps in my apiary!

Last night I found this crazy video of some poor bees being pillaged by a horde of wasps
