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.
I live in Dallas, TX area.

OK. Someone earlier in this discussion mentioned "tamu", an acronym you'll understand when you click the link below. The cooperative extension
