How do yellow jackets make their nest in the ground?

Answer 1

Thay are also known as ground wasps. That's where thy live. thy make there nests in holes in the ground.

AnswerThey are any of several small wasps of the family Vespidae that have yellow and black markings and usually nest in the ground.

The term yellowjacket refers to a number of different species of wasps in the genera Vespula and Dolichovespula (family Vespidae). Yellow Jackets are found throughout North America. Their nests are located in the ground or in rotting logs. The colony will reach maximum size in late summer. Worker yellow-jackets are common around picnic areas where they forage for food. Yellow Jackets are social wasps and live in colonies where they lay their eggs in combs of cells made of paper. Yellow Jackets benefit the woodland environment by killing insects that destroy plants and fruit!

Answer 2

There are several species of Yellow Jackets of various color schemes, only some of which have the familiar yellow and black markings. Some species of Yellow Jackets, like the Bald-Faced Hornet for example, are not even called Yellow Jackets. However, most (if not all) belong to a sub-grouping of wasps called Paper Wasps. Paper Wasps all build their nests from chewed wood which, with a few additions from the wasp, is formed into a form of "paper" as they build their nests. These paper nests are used to house the eggs, larva & pupa, until they emerge as adult wasps. Often, one will find these nests in the ground, perhaps old ground squirrel or badger holes, perhaps holes left from fallen trees, but one can also find these nests within hollow trees, dead animal carcasses, in crawl spaces or walls in buildings, or even hollow logs laying on the ground, exposed pipes or culverts or deserted cars. They tend to favor somewhat protected areas.

The nests are usually started by a queen, the only individual to survive the winter. Later, workers, males and possibly other queens are reared, which continue the nest building throughout the summer. The nests are built "by mouth" starting with an anchor point and base. The wasps then apply several layers of the "paper" to form the "cells" of the nest, in which the eggs are laid. Though these cells are somewhat like the cells in the honey comb of honey bees, bees use secreted wax, while Yellow Jackets use paper made from chewed wood. Nest size can eventually be as large as a basket ball, but some will never get that large.

Some species are falsely called "meat bees" because their primary food source is meet, sometimes mamallian, sometimes other sources like dead fish or other insects. But, being a wasp species, they are not bees. At one point, I was able to get a nest from which the adults had been killed. The nest contained living larva. I fed one of those little larva a tinny piece of hotdog I had on hand, and that larval wasp ate it whole. However, the Yellow Jacket will sometimes also eat fruit, when available.
