Recently , I have noticed that insects (wasps and/or bees)
inviding my asian pear at my backyard -- - Holes/cuts on
several fruits got holes or cuts on them.

Is there anything I can do to minimize this problem?

Thanks in advance,


JIMMY

If you have the patience, try covering the fruit with zip lock sandwich bags.
Close
them as tightly as possible around the fruit and cut slits in the bottom for
rain water
to drain out.

Have you tried that? It seems it would cause a bit of a greenhouse effect.

There are too may fruits on the tree. Putting platic bags
on them is not practical . I was hoping that there
would be some sort of chemical that I can spray
on the tree to discourage the insects.

If you tell me what state you live in, I can point you to a local
agricultural resource you can contact and get advice for free.

OK. Someone earlier in this discussion mentioned "tamu", an acronym you'll
understand when you click the link below. The cooperative extension
***ABSOLUTELY DOES*** offer free information for home gardeners. If you
don't spot it at first, it's because you haven't looked hard enough around
the site.

One advantage to dealing with a local resource is that for ***SOME PLANT
PROBLEMS***, the timing of remedies varies with the region. You need to deal
with someone from YOUR area.
