Where Art Meets the Heart

Yellow Jacket
Vespula spp.

Females will sting repeatedly with the slightest provocation.
I've heard you can starve a colony to death if you can find the nest and cover it
(at night when they're all inside, sleeping)
with a transparent bowl set firmly into the ground.
The adults become confused by their inability to escape and find food in daylight,
and will not dig a new escape hole.
