A while ago I did a post about wasps attacking the hives and eventually I lost two colonies to them.
A third was just saved when I put a tiny entrance in the hive which enabled the bees to defend themselves against the wasps.
Sorting out stuff on my camera I came across a small video clip I made just after the entrance had been put on but there were still a few wasps around.
The clip starts with a wasp thinking about trying to get in before several bees patiently explain to it they would really rather the wasp didn't try and get into the hive as it probably wouldn't end up well for the wasp who has probably got something better to do anyway.
Eventually the wasp sees their point and leaves.
Then a little worker heroically drags a wasp out of the hive and gets rid of it and then another is ejected and dragged across the front of the hive and falls to the ground.
