A yellow jacket is another name for a wasp. The larvae eat insects and insect larvae that have been captured by the adults and brought back to the nest. In return the larvae produce a sweet, sugary liquid, like honeydew, that the adults eat.
Towards the end of summer the queen will stop laying eggs and there are no more larvae. The hungry wasps then turn to other sugary food sources such as the juice of ripening fruit. This is when we start to notice them and think they are becoming a pest, though in truth they are far more beneficial to us than they are harmful as they rid the garden of many insect pests.
