Yellow jackets are often mistaken for bees, but they're actually a type of wasp. These black-and-yellow insects are known for their aggressive behavior when threatened and their painful stings. Unlike bees, yellow jackets can sting multiple times without dying. They’re most active during the late summer and early fall.
Yellow jackets live in colonies with thousands of members, including a queen, workers, and males. Their nests can be found underground, in walls, or in trees. They play a role in nature by feeding on other insects, helping with pest control.
