I agree, Chris. After looking closely at it, I concluded that the capture bottle is a converted fruit juice bottle. The vacuum cleaners remind me of the old Lewyt that we bought in 1951 at the W-PAFB PX.

Several weeks ago, I discovered a Yellow Jacket nest in my back yard.  I
kept a wary eye on it, but worried that my lawn maintenance guy might
get stung.

On Friday, the local newspaper, The Tullahoma News, ran an article on a
Winchester, TN resident who traps Yellow Jackets, Hornets, and Guinea
Wasps, and freezes them, eventually packing them in dry ice and shipping
them to the lab of AKL Source Material in Pennsylvania.  There, the
venom sacs are extracted by hand and used to create anti-venom.  I gave
him a call and told him about my nest.  He arrived yesterday afternoon
as I was watching a football game.

I decided to document the process.
