How does the 2017 yellow jacket population compare to previous years? Will a changing climate mean more regular population increases of these stinging things?

Join Dr. Lynn Kimsey, from the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology will speak at the next Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) talk in Incline Village on September 21 at 5:30 p.m.

Get an overview of yellow jacket diversity and biology and learn how to distinguish them from other wasps. Dr. Kimsey will also discuss effects and treatments of stings, and even more importantly, how to prevent or treat outbreaks.
