Wasp, Yellow Jacket, and Bee Facts:

- Only female yellow jackets have stingers. This is because males need to mate.
- Wasps undergo an annual cycle. Only queens that have mated in the fall survive. They spend the winter in protected places such as under bark, stones, and shingles.
- Male Carpenter Bees also have no stinger. The female does, but it is rarely used.
- Carpenter Bees bore into wood to make galleries in which they lay their eggs.
- Yellow Jackets are capable of inflicting multiple stings, unlike honey bees, which can only sting once before it will die.
- Bald-faced hornets and Yellow Jackets both can build aerial nests on homes, structures, and in trees.
- Wasps will build nests in attics, barns, boat houses, garages, sheds, and other places where they are not likely to be disturbed. (Source: National Pest Management Assoc. http://www.pestworld.org)
