Do yellow jackets and bumble bees compete for territory?
Yes, I have noticed that bumble bees and yellow jackets DO compete for territory. I have had many yellow jackets infesting my home in upstate New York each season for 17 years. However, this last summer, I had a bumble bee family that moved into my front porch. I watched them each day as they literally chased away the yellow jackets whenever they came near. Yet the bumble bees never caused any harm to me or my family. Thank goodness for my "watch dogs", the bumble bees -- they are my guardians against those angry yellow jackets!

Honey bees are social insects and live in groups of a few tens of thousands, bumble bees live in small groups or even alone. Although both species make honey, only honey bees store a surplus for times when nectar is not available. Bumble bees make at most around a tablespoonful of honey.

Young bumble bee queens seek out a sheltered place in which to hibernate, and the other bumble bees die when winter comes.
