Abstract
Ten yellowjacket species, of markedly different abundances, were found in a central Appalachian broadleaf forest from 1991 to 1993. Malaise- trap samples indicated that yellowjacket numbers fluctuated greatly be tween years, as occurs in other habitats. An split-plot analysis revea led that diflubenzuron decreased worker number in the application year but not in the postapplication year and revealed no effect of trap si te on worker sample size.
