My favorite memory of yellowjackets happened at a garden picnic--someone brought salmon pâté, and I noticed a yellowjacket _hurl_ herself into it. She did that "quality assurance check" mentioned in the video, then started scooping up an increasingly large meatball, while more and more picnic attendees watched. When the meatball was so big she needed all six legs to hold onto it, she finally lifted off... and topped out at about chest-height. We all wordlessly stepped aside to clear a path for her, save for one--somebody needed to open the garden gate for her, obviously. We then watched her slowly buzz her way along a hedge and out of sight. I can't blame her for her enthusiasm, that pâté _was_ in fact delicious.

More accurately they are feeding there sisters. Every yellow jacket nest is the result of a single queen that starts her own nest from scratch. How it works is high nutrition is what causes queens to be made so at first there is a bunch of workers. Then when the numbers go up so does the nutrition collected which means by the end the workers are spoiling the larvae rotten causing most of them to be queens which then leave to hibernate and start again next year.

And I get a little entertainment, too! Now that I'm not afraid of them, they're kinda fun to watch.

Grew up on a farm. Early in the morning, all the flies like to hang out on the barn walls, trying to catch the sun to warm up. The yellowjackets and wasps can handle the cold a bit better, so they are active earlier. If you were watching at the right time, you could see the wasps and yellowjackets flying up to the barn walls and grabbing flies. They chew them a bit and roll them up before carrying them off, just like in this video.

If you or anyone in your household suspect being allergic to bee/wasp venom by all means get the nests removed! Better to have nibbled crops than life-or-death trips to the hospital.

When I am eating outside during the summer, wasps often swarm around my food, but they are never seeking to sting me; they just want the food I am eating. So, I just cut a piece of meat or cheese for them and leave it a bit further from my plate so we won't bother each other and enjoy our meals (and because it is not very sanitary for an insect to walk on your food). And they do indeed not bother, because they aren't seeking to make people's lives miserable, they just want to eat. They are also very pretty animals! I often take photos of them snooping around the food I gave them and they look adorable. I do believe wasps are very misunderstood animals, especially considering how important their ecological role is (either as pollinators, "cleaners" or population controllers). I understand people with allergies wanting to avoid them, but I don't understand the mindset of some people that go "wasps should be eradicated" just because they have been stung once, because they swarm their food or because they simply don't like them.

@@Fückcoldraven It's literally their job to kill honeybees. You need to stop having the notion of "a lot of honeybees= good; (non-human) animal that kills honeybees = bad". There needs to be someone who controls honeybees' population and that's certain species of wasp (not all of them attack bees. In fact, many wasp species specialise on specific insects). If there was an overpopulation of honeybees, that would be a serious ecological issue as much as underpopulation is/would be. It's not wasps that are an issue to honeybees. It's humans. And no, not all wasps murder people. The killer hornet you mentioned is literally one species out of the thousands of wasp species there are. Most wasps are not aggressive to people if they are not provoked. And literally any animal can kill people, so this argument is nonsensical.

We didn't even notice them before that!

I used to be terrified of wasps and hornets but it all changed with knowledge and experience. They have no interest in you, if you leave them alone they leave you alone. It's just a bit sad that often our encounters with them is because we're very close to their hive and they're defending themselves. They do love building hives around or inside our houses. The good thing is once the season is over they'll die off and the hive is dead. I guess a queen could hibernate inside the house and start a new colony but they won't use the old hive comb. Anyways, if you have a problem with these insects contact a professional to deal with them.

Hymenopteran biologist here. Though I admire your work, some things you got wrong: -wasps DO need proteins - their venom is made of proteins for example, they just cannot swallow solid food due to their narrow waists. They get their aminoacids from larvas' secretion - the exude -exude is not "sugary", it is quite full of other stuff - including aminoacids (which an adult wasp uses to make proteins), larvas are essentially external guts for the wasp colony -splitting hairs here, but cladistically speaking, bees are wasps - they are a lineage derived from digger wasps (according to our best knowledge)

Yellow jackets get a bad rap, they do so much for their environment by being both pollinators and I've never had issues with them personally. I can understand the issues though, what with them making nests in the places we mow our lawns.

Last year I saw a Yellow Jacket sipping on a ketchup bottle at a food truck. It was funny and kind of cute.

People really need to stop hating on these. They’re animals trying to survive. I’d be scared and sting too if a huge giant came and started prodding me.

I love these guys. They are cute. I’ve even shared a small cabin with them and I received a total of 9 stings during the season. Favorite thing is when I’m eating raw meat, like chicken, they fly in and make meat melon-balls right from by hands

A quick way to remember the difference between wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets… Wasps build bare comb nests, hornets build enclosed nests above ground, and yellowjackets build enclosed nests underground.

Paper wasps specifically build bare comb nests. Hornets, yellow jackets, and paper wasps are all types of wasps.

I always leave a morsel for them on the side of my plate. My parents think I’m nuts but it seems to distract them from flying in our faces while we eat

I hope y'all credited whoever took that sting, because they took it like a champ. Didn't even flinch.

1:22 "Flying it back to her underground nest." I learned the hard way as a kid that they did that. Mowing the lawn was never the same for me after that.

When I was Young, I thought Yellow Jacket is new kind of mutantion Bee. They just resemble to Bee more than Wasp.
