Wouldn't it be relatively easy to put mesh around the hive with holes that the bees can fit through but the giant wasps can't?


They don't necessarily get in. They hang around the entrance. European honey bees try to attack them one by one and there isn't enough poison to take it down. The asiatic honey bee attacks all at once and actually smothers it. All the action happens outside the hive.
