There are more yellow jackets
There are more yellow jackets and European Hornets around this year than any year I can remember.
I have several trap types out and continue to remove them by the POUND! I'm not sure if this wasp "bloom" is prevalent throughout the region, but I've received calls almost daily about the "bees" in someone's yard... only to discover they are really wasps. Even the European Hornet (in the wasp family) is showing up on the side of homes and occupying trees in urban areas. Nothing like it before, at least I can't recall seeing so many here in the northeastern United States.

Apple Juice, sugar, a dab of grape jelly, vinegar and a couple of drops of dish soap will yield full containers in just a couple of days.
FORMULA USED HERE:
1 cup of apple juice
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of apple vinegar (repels honey bees)
1 teaspoon of grape jelly (concord grape jelly)
After all is placed in your feeding pan, drip 3 droplets of Dawn Dish Detergent to break the surface tension.
Done... empty often or they will just walk over the bodies and drink without sinking in.

It was fun in August, to test some traps and make my own box-traps, but the traps are overfilling in record time.
I'm wondering if this is the case in other parts of the country.
My honeybees are holding their own just fine in the apiary, even though wasps are on a constant patrol and attempt to exploit any hive opening.
I have all of my beehives closed down with entrance reducers to help the bees defend their resources. Now that the Autumn forage is greatly reduced, the pressure is on foragers to get those remaining resources.
