> Smoke greatly reduced the nest-defense attacks of yellowjackets and
bumblebees.

Interesting.  I had always assumed that wasps would not be affected in the
same way as bees as they have no honey; on reflection maybe that is not
quite as logical as I first thought.  Must try it, although I have to say
that I have never been attacked by wasps when destroying their nests!

Best wishes
