Hello,
My colony are on the increase again (following swarm earlier this year, and subsequent raising of new queen), they have all started to emerge again, so numbers are on the up again at last.
I was just wondering when I should be adding the wasp guard/entrance reducer? I haven't spotted a huge wasp problem, but then, not sure if I would?
I certainly don't want those pesky wasps causing my bees a problem - but equally, I have learnt to my detriment what blocking up a beehive does when they still want to be out flying!!!
Thanks!
