Hello All For some time now, I have been observing wasps attempting to gain entry to my hives, apparently without success. They always seem to be met with stern rebuke at the hive entrance, and as far as I can see they end up backing off. I have made all hive entrances quite small to assist the bees in this regard. To day, when I was examining one of the varroa floors, I noticed about a dozen ants scurrying around the varroa floor. I am now wondering, if these constitute a danger to the hive, since they have actually gained entrance, and will they bring in hordes of their brethern, and end up overwhelming the hive. Is any corrective action against them necessary or possible. Thanks for any assistance Sincerely Tom Barrett 49 South Park Foxrock Dublin 18 Ireland e mail [log in to unmask] Tel + 353 1 289 5269 Fax + 353 1 289 9940 Latitude 53 Degrees 16' North Longitude 6 Degrees 9' West of Greenwich
