- Possibly...5 and a bit...depends on the bees.
We did inspections on all our colonies yesterday. We were constantly harangued by wasps. We only saw a few last year. I must have dispatched at least 10 when they managed to get onto a frame..whilst they had their heads in the honey! I have one quite small weak Nuc....I already have the entrance reduced....but I am expecting by the time I get back next weekend...that they will be overcome!
We saw a number being dragged out by bees in other hives. It seems early this year as August is usually the time the wasps are about.
As soon as I get back...wasp defence measures will be high on the to do list!
