 The Yellow Jacket
• Yellowjackets are found worldwide, and there are about 16 species that reside in the U.S.
• They are social insects that have annual colonies; only the queen lives through winter to start a new colony in the spring.
• Depending on the species, the queen will pick either an underground or aerial site to build her nest.
• Common places for a nest are attached to bushes, trees, or the eaves of homes.
• Yellowjacket nests are built with a recognizable paper-like material made from chewed cellulose.
