Simon Croson said on one of his sites he lost about a third of his bees to wasp attacks.
A beekeeper from Lincolnshire has said he has lost about a third of his bees in one colony to wasps.Wasps will attack hives to source honey for food especially during the latter part of the summer.
The British Beekeepers Association said it did not record statistics on wasp numbers, but said members had reported an increase. "A combination of a mild autumn and winter last year which resulted in more queen wasps surviving through the winter," he explained."Which will give rise to all the hundreds of thousands of wasps being reported across the county and country."
Wasps will attack bees and hives to source food especially when their colonies have grown too large and other food sources begin to run low. He said wasps did have value because they kill insects and bugs that posed a threat to fruit and vegetables.
