The bald-faced hornet is a black and white hornet that you can find hovering close to the ground. These hornets are common across the United States.
If it is white and black it's called a Bald-Faced Hornet which are common to northern North America as well as the Rockies and the West Coast.
blackjaket. *Depending on where you are located, it could be any of 4 varieties of hornet. They include the White Yellowjacket (D. albida), Northern Yellowjacket (D. arctica), Blackjacket (V. consobrina), and Baldfaced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata). We in the central states are most familiar with the Bald-faced hornet. It is sometimes also referred to as the white-faced hornet, but, like the others, is a variety of yellowjacket. Its nest is easily recognizable, what we think of as a "typical" hornet's nest, a gray "paper" structure with several layers of combs inside. A mature nest can be bigger than a basketball, usually pear-shaped, with an entrance hole near the bottom. Bald-faced hornets rarely attack a human. They are happy going about their business killing other insects, including other yellowjackets, as a source of food for their larvae. Usually, a person will assume that because of their superior size, they are more dangerous and aggressive that the Yellowjacket. Actually the opposite is true.
Hornets should be killed with a very strong spray. Do not attempt to break the nest down as this will cause a swarm of angry hornets.
A hornet sting can be very painful and potentially life-threatening if the person stung has an allergy to insect venom or if they are stung multiple times. However, for the average person without allergies, a hornet sting is usually not fatal. It's still important to seek medical attention if stung by a hornet.

Yes, i got stung bye three at the same time once.
No, bald-faced hornets do not have the ability to remember faces.
Most likely a Tarantula Hawk, a type of spider-eating wasp. If it's large, slow moving, and seemingly not too afraid of you ... that's probably it. It is non-aggressive and won't sting unless you grab it or something, so leave it be, it will eat spiders!
They can die if you don't treat them by putting wet mud from a spruce on the sting
