I can say I have trapped one under a cup and it has lived for over a week without food or water and shows no signs of slowing down!

When did Frankford Yellow Jackets end?

Frankford Yellow Jackets ended in 1931.


How do yellow jackets smell and taste things?

Yellow jackets have chemoreceptors on their mouthparts and antennae, which they use to detect chemical cues in their environment. These receptors allow them to smell and taste by sensing different chemicals in the air or on food sources. They are particularly sensitive to sugar and protein molecules.


Will permethrin kill yellow jackets?

Permethrin does kill yellow jackets as well as hornets, ground bees, wasps, and other stinging insects. You can discourage yellow jackets from nesting in trees and shrubbery around your yard by spraying them with permethrin as well.


Can rattlesnake venom be carried by yellow jackets if the yellow jacket feeds on the dead snake?

No, yellow jackets cannot carry rattlesnake venom simply by feeding on a dead snake because venom must be injected into a victim through a bite or sting to be effective. Yellow jackets have their own venom that they use for defense and predation, which is not the same as rattlesnake venom.


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.
