I Am Not the Hornet King

Though I have a lot of respect for the honeybee, I loathe a yellowjacket, hornet, or whatever they are.

As you all know, this summer has been crazy for the yellowjacket. My kids, like many on the hi-line, have been stung by these knuckleheads.

So I got vigilant, setting a trap approved by Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. This trap can be quite dangerous if used the wrong way. For example, do not put it in an area where your children play, do not remove it until it is dark and cold outside, and do not set the trap right outside your home entrance.

Of course, we wanted a show. So we disregarde...
