Autumn is robbing season where the hive can be robbed out by their own kind (bees), wasps or even rats. While I destroyed the main wasp’s nest couple of weeks ago, wasps number reduced significantly but still they are still here in the area.
So I setup the second layers of defense which is the dark tunnel by using the real estate signboard especially the black colour, which explain the wasps unlikely to travel all the way into the back of the hive then come up from the cut hole as to pick up the easy meal.
The third layers of defense would be the wasp trap which I put in some protein (rotten meat or cat food) and fill in with water, where this time of the year, wasp is aiming to have protein for their winter, once they get into the trap and could not fly out then drown to death.
