The scourges of the Fall
Every Fall we get these yellow and black pests invading our outdoor dining. You can't have a picnic - or even a simple lunch on the deck - without swarms of these guys invading. They go to your food. They even go inside your open soda cans. They're annoying at best, and harmful at worst. I once took a drink from a soda can that had one of these guys inside and got a fat lip from the sting in the process. They do this out of hopelessness, we're told. Entymologists say they know they're lives are over and they are, in effect, angry.



Here's another Fall pest, this one biennial:

Like the pesky yellowjacket, they always seem angry in the Fall. But this year, there's every indication to think they're angrier than normal. Could it be they somehow know they're life is almost over, too?

Let's make it so. This Fall, the best antidote to the angry elephant is to work hard for the happy donkey. If we all pull together, we can make the elephant's new pose this one:

2. Here in Wisconsin, we take a bowl, put some
kind of soda pop in it along with a couple of drops of dishwater soap, put the mixture away from where people are outside and the bees will go for the sweet drink and not be able to get out. Meanwhile they are away from people.

4. Use a much bigger bowl




and in it place a radio with Limbore jabbering away. The lemmings will drown trying to get to him.
