Assuming you're talking about paper wasps, I wouldn't think they'd be an
issue at all for the bees. I never see any around my hives. Mostly yellow
jackets and hornets. Those have never really caused me much problems either.
IMO wasp/hornet insecticides would be much more of a problem. I expect that
anything which kills wasps would also kill bees.
