It's ramping up here
Five colonies are nice and strong with reduced entrances.
One nuc is being targeted, they are on an underfloor entrance and the porch is dummied down to 2.5 cm so effectively there is a tunnel entrance with a right angle bend in it. The guards are coping well with the odd incursion at the front but it's at the back that I spotted most of the wasp. There is a trap there now.
My neighbours half a mile away have been swatting wasps on the hives with the predictable result. I have given them a Waspbane but heaven knows if it will help
