[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 3917, member: 13"] Thing is that in some parts including where I am, you can find and kill any number of nests and still put no noticeable dent in wasp numbers because within range of a bee yard there could be hundreds of nests. At one of my bush sites a couple months ago i found 3 wasp nests within the actual apiary. All within 2 or 3 meters of at least one hive. Killed them, zero difference in the numbers of wasps harrasing the bees. With that kind of density I cannot imagine how many nests would be through the rest of the surrounding bush. [/QUOTE]
