Inventions

At one of the morning weekly briefings, a staff member demonstrated to the scoutmasters how to construct a simple yellow jacket trap. You cut off the top of a plastic soda pop bottle and then shove the severed top into the bottle with the spout pointing downward. Next, you pour some sugary liquid into the bottle.



The yellow jackets fly into the bottle, attracted to the liquid. However, once inside, they are unable to fly back out and eventually drown.

Here is another invention. Jones' air dirt volcano. It is powered with a bicycle air pump.
