Many of you recall the day a nest of yellow jackets took my lawn mower hostage for the day.
Today, I found a new home for yellow jackets rather than gassing them.
Actually, I gave away two nests today.
I responded to an ad in my local newspaper about a company looking to harvest yellow jackets for Immunotherapy. They simply vacuum them out of their nest, place them in a cooler on dry ice, and take them back to their lab.
They use the venom from the females to create some kind of anti venom.
From backyard to medical Lab.
Today, I learned a lot of new things.
