Hello
I am a complete newbie but now have a National with a small nucleus colony happily laying eggs and foraging. I also have a Warre with a swarm. The Warre is under the overhang of a stable that’s just used for storage. On the inside of the adjacent stable door is a wasp’s nest. Should I be worried or will a wasp excluder to reduce the entrance on both hives be enough to prevent entry? I really hate to think of killing creatures. I wondered about possibly giving the wasps there own sugar/fruit fix to divert them away from the bees later in the summer? Does anyone have any advice please?
