A yellow jacket is a wasp... much tougher and scarier than a bumble bee
Not quite. There are two types of wasps, social wasps and solitary wasps. There are about 20 types of solitary wasps in the South, all of which are solitary hunters and have solitary nests. Most of which aren't a nuisance to human beings.
Yellow Jackets are social wasps and nest in groups. They also hunt together and attack in swarms. They are the main culprit in stinging attacks across the country. You don't ever see a single yellow jacket. You will always see Yellow Jackets. As there is never just one.
Food for thought. We are Yellow Jackets. Not Wasps.
