Yellow Jackets: Yellow jackets are small (half-inch long) wasps marked with yellow. Colonies are initiated by overwintering queens that make paper nests underground, but occasionally in hollow trees, wall voids and attics or on a branch over a stream. A fully developed nest may contain from a few hundred to many thousand adults. Yellow jackets feed on a variety of pest insects, but will also forage for meat or soft drinks at picnic, camp and garbage sites. This habit often brings them into close association with people. Good sanitation in picnic areas can help reduce problems with these pests. Solitary scavenging yellow jackets are usually non-aggressive unless handled, but become very aggressive as a group if they believe their nest is threatened. Yellow jackets will vigorously pursue an intruder who threatens their nest and are generally considered the most dangerous of the social insects.
I cant post the picture for you, but yeah these little guys chased me tonight when i was mowing my yard and one got me....little sucker.
Yes, Bumble bees and also yellow jackets
No, but some bumble bees do. In the wild honey bees would be in natural cavities such as holes in trees.
Most bumble bees live in suitable holes, such as abandoned mouse holes in the ground or in soil banks.
Your statement implied in this sentence is not true. Hornets and bees may choose to nest on the ground or in a tree. Hornets more commonly prefer the ground, where the opposite holds for bees.
No, bees generally do not come back to an underground nest which is destroyed by human-controlled fires. But there always may be exceptions to the above-mentioned rule. For example, bees will return if the underground tunnel remains useful or when population levels and viable alternative shelters remain respectively high and low.
the word underground is a common noun but if used like Underground Railroad then it is proper
Bees live in different locations. The honeybee lives in a hive as do many other species of this insect. Some bees burrow underground and others live in small nests.
Well, for one, the most common are bees.
Ground BeesGround bees are also known as 'mining bees' as they dig tunnels in the ground. The ground bee is small in size and black in color. The tunnels are made to provide shelter to their offspring. For this, they choose well-shaded areas with loose soil and less vegetation. The tunnels contain chambers in the end, made by female bees. These chambers are used to store food for the baby bees. Though they are not aggressive, they can sting. These bees live in separate but close-by nests.I think yellow jackets and underground hornets and gounding bees or mining bees live underground
wait til spring and tap it.... call a professional.....
Anything containing pyrethrins, a common insecticide. bees are hypersensitive to it.
Double E's
No, carpenter bees are very common insects. Too common, some would say. These large, normally non aggressive bees resemble bumble bees, and often do damage to outdoor wooden structures with their habit of digging holes in the wood.
