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.
