In this video I show you to prevent wasps from robbing your beehives and talk about what to do it if you colony is under attack from bees!
Black Mountain Honey is a No Nonsense Beekeeping Channel.
We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.
We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.
Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

THANKYOU SOO MUCH TO WHO EVER REQUESTED THIS VIDEO!!😁 ❤👏👍IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!❤️🐝
I'm uber impressed with your videos, you're claim of no nonsense advice, pretty much does what it says on the tin!
I've watched maybe 8 of your videos this evening, and I've really enjoyed both the content and your delivery.
I've shared your channel with my bee keeping friends.
Stay safe and have a great Christmas with a new year filled with honey and healthy bees.
Best.
Stuart.
Thanks for the great feedback, Stuart and glad to hear you have enjoyed the videos! Thanks for sharing the channel. Same to you, Stuart. All the best 👍
Stuart.. couldn't have said it better myself..these vids are informative and to the point which I appreciate!❤️🐝
I just got a Nuc and feeding them sugar water on a board feeder. I was told to feed them for 2 weeks. I’m putting on an entrance excluder today. Never thought about wasps, was more worried about hornets...just subbed, thank you very much!
I'm based just outside Edinburgh what I noticed last year was wasp seem to be in decline I only seen about a dozen wasps.
Great advice, 1st year beekeeping and glad I found your channel. Really useful 😊
The underside entrance is really smart. Strong hives is key thanks for sharing this. I have flowers blooming year round here so not so bad for wasps but I do see them change feeding habits, thank you clean clean and clean Apiary’s
I had never thought of the bottom entrance as a deterrent to wasps. We have yellow jackets that are just brutal. They constantly try getting under the top cover to get to the sugar feed in fall..
I wish you had specified YELLOWJACKET wasps, and not just said "Wasps" because there are dozens of wasp species which are not social or aggressive. The general public is already confused enough about things and much like most southerners will call any snake a "copperhead", most people I know can't tell the difference between a paper wasp and a yellowjacket and those misconceptions lead to a lot of unnecessary killing.
He's speaking English, not American so they're called wasps (Vespula alascensis )
Yellowjacket wasps are only called that in the US. You can tell he’s not American, right?
Ok sure but be more specific. Does the rest of the world not have specific names for specific wasps? Call all canines "dogs" too?
in the background, the branch in the top right hand corner, at 1:18 it catches the sunlight - thought it was a giant wasp....LOL
I can relate to this - lost a few colonies last year to wasps - they were relentless in their attack
Haha! Coming to get you! They are little blighters!
I lost a weak nuc this season to wasps.in one day. There was lots of dead wasp and bees on the ground in front. Thanks for the advice.
It becomes a real battleground at the entrance until the wasps finally overcome them
@@BlackMountainHoney That was a purchased queen too. Really bummed out on loosing her. Thanks for the reply!
I lost 6 to wasps in one yard. They were lined up next to one another. The wasps took them one at a time left to right.
Sorry to hear that :(
The Japanese bees have adapted to their predators including the hornet they allow the hornet scout to enter the hive then pounce on it once the workers give the signal and overheat it
The overhearing behaviour is quite incredible isn't it!
Here we are in mid December and wasps are still attacking my wild log hive, I have blocked one entrance leaving a very small entrance but they are still robbing, is there anything else I can do?
Good tips thanks
Cheers Steve
I run lots of weak hives. I am small and raising queens,so I am constantly taking bees from strong hives for cell builders and mating nucs. then there are the mating nucs, they are all weak. do you think an under floor entrance would do well in a mating nuc, queens already having trouble finding the way back from mating. what I did last year that helped a lot was open feed 200 yards away from mating yard. it fed the bees and the wasps, but they left the hives alone. then as the temps start falling the bees are not out as early as the wasps, I would turn it into a trap, huge reduction. thanks for the videos
I think UF help in the battle against wasps but its not a silver bullet. Mating nucs are really easy targets for wasps. Although open feeding has its own issues, thats a neat idea to relieve the burden on the mating nucs. I think virgin/mated queens should be able to navigate the entrances just fine.
I use to work next door to a jam factory wow Wasp city.
Wow. I can imagine that wasnt easy!
@@BlackMountainHoney Nope LOL.
