I noticed the discussion on how to handle yellowjackets and thought the following link might be helpful: http://www.wvtf.org/news.htm It's to our local npr station, which yesterday ran a feature on a gentleman who collects yellowjackets and wasps in order to harvest their venom. This gentleman does it for free as long as the insects have not been sprayed with pesticide. The story focused on his work in the Roanoke, Virginia area, but I imagine there are others who do the same thing elsewhere. The story is in Real Audio exclusively, so you might not be able to access it at your work.
