Wasps and Pears

We have a Concord (?) pear, which can produce very tasty, juicy fruit
and it is currently covered in blossom.
The last 3-4 years, as the fruit begins to ripen, wasps start eating the
fruit just at the base of the stem - fruit then rots and/or drops off.
Any suggestions for preventing the little black and yellow ^&%*£!! from
doing this.

Spraying the fruit with a very dilute carbolic soap mix keeps wasps
away.
