Thanks for sharing, this is very interesting. I love bees and appreciate them. I recently found out about Mosquito Dunks, that are safe for the other insects and the environment. I would encourage more people to use them instead of spraying harmful insecticides. You just make a bucket or container with water, fill with some yard debris and put a dunk in. The mosquito lays eggs and they die.

You're such a great teacher! Wonderfully researched and summarized. Will be less fearful/more encouraging of wasps henceforth! (I got stung by a yellow jacket late last summer on my ankle when I was pregnant and could not walk for a week, and so I'm harboring some ill will, but it's great to know the context!)
