Yellow jackets:

 

Yellow jackets are pollinators and may also be considered beneficial because they eat beetle grubs, flies and other harmful pests. However, they are also known scavengers who eat meat, fish and sugary substances, making them a nuisance near trash receptacles and picnics.

 

Many yellow jackets are ground-nesters. Their colonies can be found under porches or steps, in sidewalk cracks, around railroad ties or at the base of trees. Sometimes the queen uses a wall void of a building as a nesting place. Some yellow jackets build aerial nests in bushes or low-hanging branches or in the corners of buildings and other manmade structures.

 

Wasps:

 

Some wasps are aggressive species and can sting when threatened. Unlike honey bees, wasps often are capable of stinging multiple times.

 

Bees:

 

Social bees are rarely aggressive and considered beneficial. Bumble bees and honey bees are usually seen buzzing from one flower to the next in backyard gardens. Each plays an important role in transferring pollen from one flower to the next. Without this important service, most of the fruit and vegetables that we rely on for food would be non-existent.
