Yes they do Yes they do
You trace wasps back to their nest (not hive, that's only for bees) by watching which way they go after they have finished eating. Give them something to eat, like honeycomb, and there will be lots to follow.
The wasps are probably trying to rob the honey from the beehive and the bees are trying to defend the hive.
A hive or swarm
Bees and Wasps.
Not the ones you see flying around outside. Those are workers, and they cannot breed. The only fertile wasp is the queen, and she stays in the hive most of the time.
Primarily, wasps are attracted to the honey inside the hive. However wasps will also go for lone or weak bees for food. Wasps may also go directly after the brood (bee larvae) in a bee hive.
There are many superstitions about wasps. It is believed that if wasps build their hive low it is an indication of a hard winter with lots of storms and if they build high it will be a mild winter. It is also believed that if you are stung by a wasp this is a sign of bad luck to come.
Yellow jacket wasps are territorial. When you come upon a yellow jacket wasp hive it is important to either have a plan of action in place to prevent serious injuries from occurring.
Wasps Bees and Hornets
A nesting and breeding place for bees and wasps.
Well, wasps don't colect pollen bees do, wasps collect wood to make a hive at least that's what my friend said.
In the open bees and wasps will tend to ignore each other, but if a wasp tries to enter a bee hive and does not immediately back out, the guard bees will probably sting it to death. A concerted attack on a bee hive by a large number of wasps in order to get to the honey stores may succeed and many bees and wasps will die in the resulting fight.
