[Ponte Alto] Yellow jackets - Warning

[Sharon]

I wonder if folks could bring extra traps with them?  I used to have one (instructions say to put it in an area *away* from where you will be)... it looks like a clear plastic jar with a yellow hat. I am pretty sure I got mine at Wal-mart.
 
I wish everyone all the best at Pennsic... sounds like you've got a secondary War With Nature going on there!  When my 5 girls are older I might venture a trip... there are more innovative ideas on comfort every year! *grin* :)
 
It is my hope everyone remains safe and merry.

I spoke with Nick today and asked about the bees. He said the traps seem to 
be working. The bees weren't swarming like they did last weekend. Hopefully 
the traps have reduced the population enough.
