Noticed wasps going into the hive this morning, so thought I best close up the entrance (Dartington/JMB style) a bit. To do that I had to remove some what i thought were dead bees from the landing vestibule. They werent all bees but mostly dead wasps. A closed it up a bit and later saw another wasp go in was go in so I closed it up further.
Lunchtime the hive had vigourous (for the weather) orientation flights. What was going on?
This afternoon I was there to witness a large queen wasp being ejected by two honeybee bouncers.
It seems that it is the local wasps that are getting a hardtime.
