What are Yellowjackets?
Yellowjackets are wasps in the genera Vespula and Dolichovespula. Depending on the region of the world where one is discussing these creatures, some people may simply call yellowjackets “wasps.” Most Americans use the term yellowjacket, and some people confuse these wasps with honeybees, despite many major differences between these insects. Many people view yellowjackets as pests, since they are fond of many of the same foods that people are.
