The insects are quick frozen and shipped to a lab in Pennsylvania to be used to make vaccine used to desensitize people who are very sensitive to the stings of these insects.  Pete says the nests are very large this year. This one showed signs of digging around it, so a nightly-visiting skunk has probably been at work.  I have seen evidence of some kind of nightly visits.
