interesting.....so how does it keep the yellow jackets away I wonder....

[trisham]

Wow! I’m very allergic to yellow jacket stings, so if this works, it would be incredible.

[Rio]

I have used one like this:

Cut-off top of two-liter bottle inserted back into the lower half. For bait, I have had good luck with Mountain Dew. Can also put a chunk of meat down there. A drop of soap helps drown them quicker.

They fall into the water and drown.

-- so how does it keep the yellow jackets away I wonder... --

It's the inverse or hollow pyramid principle. Pyramid shapes will sharpen razor blades, repel biting and stinging insects (and poisonous snakes), and attract unicorns.

[AnAmericanAbroad]

I’ve used that; I used a little RC Cola as the bait, with a little liquid soap. Worked great.

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, but you wouldn’t want to turn it upside-down. For one thing, you’d be knee-deep in unicorns.

[Envisioning]

A drop of soap helps drown them quicker.

I want them to drown slowly and painfully.....LOL.

So what do have for bee’s?

“So what do have for bee’s?”

honey bees? or gigantic bumble bees?

The Yellow Jackets eat some Fish - get thirsty - drink some water and while swimming drown.

[Doomonyou]

A piece of raw fish.

Hot dogs work quite well.

[SpaceBar]

That 2-liter trap will work with flies also if you use a piece of putrifying meat and water as bait.
