Saw a few wasps out today here in East Yorks. Must get my entrances wasp proofed.
More than a hive full of honey?Never sure whether wasp traps work. Maybe they attract wasps to the apiary?
Probably, but the winter mortality rate is very high. It would have to be or we would be knee deep in wasps within a couple of yearsRead that one wasps nest can produce 1000 queen wasps for the following year!
They attract if they don't trap the wasp that finds it. If a wasp gets away it tells its sisters where your appiary is.Never sure whether wasp traps work. Maybe they attract wasps to the apiary?
And yet I've seen more than ever before around here, they were taking great interest in my wet stored supers when I started drawing them outCome to think of it, I've also seen very few hornets (of the European variety).
