This is my first year keeping bees.  I have three hives, and yesterday
took about 70Lbs of capped honey off one of them!

My question pertains to predation of my bees by
yellowjackets. Yellowjackets cruise around all over the beeyard about
an inch off the ground looking for bees on the ground to kill.
Recently they have become very bold and kill many bees right below the
alighting board.  Sometimes thay even hop up on the alighting board
and take bees right out of the hive entrance.  This is making my bees
defensive.  Any suggestions?
