They also catch other insects and spiders for their young to feed on. Keep in mind that some yellow jackets can get aggressive toward people when food and drinks are around outside in late summer and fall. Social bees feed on pollen and nectar from flowers and don\u2019t bother people when food is around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nesting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Social wasps build nests by chewing wood and mixing it with their saliva. This creates a paper-like pulp, which forms the material for their nests. These wasps sometimes build nests underground or in cavities, such as attic spaces or voids within walls. Others build their nests in the open, such as under eaves.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/26\/not-all-stinging-insects-are-bad-bees-are-quite-important-to-agriculture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honey bees<\/a> build honey combs out of wax, and are usually found in trees.
