..and as I recall, yellow jackets are aggressive and can sting mulitple times (and hurts like the dickens). Unless you have some of those nasty african honey bees, the humble honey bee has to get pretty po'd before they will sting.

Some folks refer to yellow bumble bees as yellow jackets. Where I came from,
the black and yellow striped paper makers were called yellow jackets. The
ones that live in the ground are probably bumble bees.

From the article -
Yellow jackets build nests in trees, shrubs, or in protected places such as
inside man-made structures, or in soil cavities, mouse burrows, etc.
I've come across the occasional yellow jacket nest in the ground. Pouring
gasoline on the nest takes care of them.
