Yellow jackets do you a large favor in paralyzing, hauling off garden pests to their nest. They don't have sense enough to avavoid stinging larger predators walking around their nest, so I exterminate the yellow jackets that sting me. After a few million years of genetic selection they might become smarter. Don't think I will wait..

There was a blurb in today's Roanoke Times where 38 people were stung by yellow jackets, many of them children from a Head Start program, as they left a meeting held yesterday afternoon at a church in Blacksburg. I believe the paper said 4 or 5 people went to the hospital for known and unknown allergic reactions. Bet someone has taken care of that nest.
