I found a spider right outside of my house door and couldn't find an answer and this is what came up....hope its useful!!
One common garden spider, known as the black and yellow garden spider, has silver hairs on the back of its forward body section and a large abdomen marked in black and bright yellow (or orange). The common garden spider is approximately 25 mm (1 inch) long and hangs head down in the center of the web. It is often found in brambles, bushes and tall grasses in open, sunny places near human habitations where flying insects blunder into the trap. Egg sacs are spherical and narrowed at one end and covered with a tough brown, paper-like silk. These Spiders are not considered dangerous, despite their formidable appearance, but they can bite if handled or molested.

A Lol Spider? xD
The black and yellow garden spider is a black- and yellow-bodied spider whose back is marked with white. The arachnid in question may be found throughout Canada and the United States of America. It numbers among the most recognizable of garden arachnids.
It may be a Black and Yellow Argiope, which is a common orb web spider. Follow the related link to see a picture.
It is probably a female yellow garden spider, Argiope aurantia, if it is three to four inches long. The males are much smaller. They do have fangs ans will bite if provoked, but it will be like a bee sting as their venom is not terrible toxic to humans.

An insect that has yellow and black stripes and looks like a bee may be a yellow jacket. They are a type of wasp and resemble bees in color and size.

most spiders are not venomous, the only spiders that are dangerous are the Northern or Southern Black widow(bright red marking on belly). Very rarely you might see a brown recluse spider (it looks like a little violin is drawn on its back)
Araniella cucurbitina or A.opisthographa? Maybe. Im just guessing.
It takes about 30 minutes.
