In early October I was dismayed to see a frenzy of wasps around the top of one of my two poly-hives. The colony had been strong and is headed by a 2022 queen.They seemed to be entering the hive beneath a syrup feeder which I had topped up a week earlier. Examination showed that the wasps had nibbled the unpainted poly-feeder to create several tunnels. I removed the feeder and could see several wasps within the hive. Nibbling has previously happened on the opposing edges of my poly supers.
