Do yellow jackets build honeycombs?
A Yellow Jacket and a Bee are two different things. Yellow Jackets are not actually bees at all, although they are often mistaken as such. They are a member of the wasp family and are of the genera Vespula and Dolichovespula. They are more commonly referred to as "wasps" in most English speaking countries. Most of these wasps are of a yellow and black striped colour, but others can be red and black, or even white and black. They can be identified by very distinctive markings and small size. They live in colonies and exhibit rapid side to side flight patterns before landing. All the females are capable of stinging and their stinger is barbless, allowing them sting repeatedly. See the related question for differences between bees and yellow jackets.

What is the difference between a yellow jacket bite and a yellow jacket sting and for a bite what should be done?
Yes yellow jackets do bite and sting. The sting maybe initially more painful but the bite has potential for real problems also. If you are allergic to the sting then you will have an allergic reaction possibly with breathing issues which require swift medical attention. The bite which can be painful can cause it's own problems.Yellow jackets are scavengers that eat just about anything. You see them on animal carcasses, around trash cans, rotten food etc. This often means their mouths are covered in bacteria. So when they bit you you could be in for a nasty infection. So if the bite site gets worse over a couple of days you should seek medical attention, especially if there is any significant swelling or streaking indicating infection.So if you are bit or stung, wash the site with soap and water and keep your eye on it.
Do yellow jackets swarm?
Technically, any animal/insect with a mouth can bite. However, only some bites are poisonous. Yellow jackets can bite you but they normally wouldn't and it wouldn't be poisonous. Yellow jackets transfer venom into the body via stingers. So to harm you they would have to sting you. [Yellow jackets can only sting once, then they die] A yellow jacket could bite you because they have mandibles, sort of like teeth (you could look them up on Google). So to sum it up they could bite you, but it wouldn't harm you.
