Are Yellow Jackets Bees or Wasps?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During the summer months, Monmouth County NJ pest control companies<\/a> deal with yellow jackets and other stinging pests. Although you might hear yellow jackets referred to as bees, they\u2019re actually not. These pests are a type of wasp.<\/p>\n

Yellow Jacket Identification<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have honeybees or yellow jackets<\/a> in your yard? You can tell yellow jackets by their yellow and black coloring and their smooth appearance. These pests don\u2019t have the hairy legs and abdomen that honeybees have. Some yellow jackets also have more of a white and black coloring instead of yellow white, which also sets them apart from bees.<\/p>\n

Yellow Jacket Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yellow jackets<\/a> are known for stinging multiple times, which bees can\u2019t do. Honeybees lose their stinger after stinging once, causing them to die. Yellow jackets don\u2019t lose their stinger, so they\u2019re able to sting repeatedly. They tend to attack if they feel threatened or if you get too close to their nest. Despite the threat they pose to people, especially those who are allergic, they also do some good. Yellow jackets get rid of several insect pests that are found in NJ.<\/p>\n
