Filling Frames

The weekly inspection went well today- the frames are filling up with loads of capped brood, eggs, larvae and stores. The bees are on 8 frames and drawing out one of the others, hopefully getting stronger and stronger all the time. There is no real honey forage crop at the moment so not much chance of a crop of honey this year,which we didn't expect, but you can always hope! Today we sprinkled icing sugar between the frames and put the tray under the mesh floor to gauge if  or how many varroa mites there may be in the hive. We will inspect this later in the week. I have been slightly worried about the wasps which seem to be thriving in the fruit trees at the back of the hive- they are attracted by the honeydew left by an infestation of greenfly on the trees. I am not usually vindictive, but these wasps may be a threat to our bees!!So we have put up wasp catchers baited by medlar jelly- this seems to be the most attractive to the wasps! Loads have been lured to a sticky death but they still keep coming!! Any suggestions to get rid of wasps will be welcome.
