Since it seems to be a sensible question for BEE-L I'm posting the contents in a more readable form! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Folks. Pestiferous wasps (Vespula spp.) could possibly be controlled by incorporating an insecticide in a sweet food bait placed out where the wasps are foraging. But of course honey bees would also take the bait. Does anyone know of a sweet formulation that will be readily taken by wasps but not by honey bees at all? Protein baits in this country are attractive to wasps only when wasps are abundant. We need something sweet, but something which will be ignored by honey bees. Thanks.
