I was the person who brought the wasp issue up last year...
I took the longer term/easier approach...I hung 6 traps
near the wasp nest so to attract on;ly the wasps and not
any bees...after a gentle/no hassle period of emptying wasps and refilling
bait of about 3 weeks the nest was vacant and I knocked it
down and sprayed the area with 6 month Raid bug spray..
The nest was almost the size of a basketball and would have
cost be 175 USD to have it removed...my solution was $35 for
traps (the yellow kind..on sale at wallymart)

Wasp, Hornets, Yellow Jackets, etc, in conventional beehives, for research purposes.. umm.. I wouldn't want to lift the cover on one of those hives!!!
