Beer beckons wasps to your barbecue
Burlington summer brings barbecues and wasps, says Dr. George Mac Collum of the University of Vermont. He warns to remove nests early, use targeted pesticides with long nozzles, and hire a pro for large infestations. Wasps target outdoor gatherings, especially beer, and can cause severe allergic reactions. Bees differ and should not be destroyed.
