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.
Do yellow jackets reuse their nests?
Yes. All wasps sting, some species are less aggressive than others but the paper wasp is quite aggressive and protective of their territory. It is a very painful sting. Paper wasps feed spiders to their young, and they use it for that, but they do not hesitate to sting people in proximity with their nests.
