They are attracted to the urine. The salts in the urine are utilized by bees so this is why they drink it at times.

Do bees bite?

No bees do not bite. They sting. Honey bees have barbed stingers and if they sting a person or animal the barbs in their stinger will stick. When they fly away their rear end is torn off and they die. Bees can sting other insects multiple times and their stinger won't stick because insect flesh is pulpy. Bumble bees (the large fuzzy bee) does not have a barbed stinger. However this particular bee has a very docile personality and is more likely to fly away than sting. Honey bees and bumble bees only eat pollen and nectar from flowers. Bees, Wasps and Hornets do have mouth parts called mandibles which they use for scraping, chewing food and building combs. Wasps and hornets can sting as well. Their stingers are not barbed and they can sting multiple times. These insects are omnivores - they eat all foods. Yellow jackets are very commonly seen when eating food outdoors. They enjoy sugary pop, hot dogs, tuna sandwiches, etc. Yellow jacket wasps tend to become more aggressive in the fall when their food supply is dwindling and they are hungry. Wasps and hornets will eat other insects, and can use their mouth parts to cut up the dead insect in pieces that they carry back to their hive to feed their young.

Do yellow jackets and bumble bees compete for territory?

Yes, I have noticed that bumble bees and yellow jackets DO compete for territory. I have had many yellow jackets infesting my home in upstate New York each season for 17 years. However, this last summer, I had a bumble bee family that moved into my front porch. I watched them each day as they literally chased away the yellow jackets whenever they came near. Yet the bumble bees never caused any harm to me or my family. Thank goodness for my "watch dogs", the bumble bees -- they are my guardians against those angry yellow jackets!
