I have been getting tortured by wasps over the past week and these tunnel entrances on the national floors do come into there own..i have been stood watching the entrances quite a bit today and the wasps are desperately trying to get in..no bees in sight but as soon as a wasps tries to walk the tunnel of death it is just as quickly turfed out as the guard bees must be sat at the other end of the tunnel ..very few dead wasps on the floor out side the hive compared to when i tried using underfloor entrances..
Love both ideas. Thanks for sharing. My suggestion with the pipe would be to shove it inside the nuc, in the same way the colony entrance is.Steve 1972 wrote: ↑17 Aug 2020, 13:44I had a problem with wasps one year Adam with my Paynes Poly Nucs..i got arond this by making the tunnel type entrance out of a piece of pipe the same diameter as the nuc entrance and then making a box around it to stop the bees getting confused when entering the hive..here are the pictures of what i made..
