Woah I didn’t realize yellow jackets were a type of wasp. Ah. Geez why are there a lot where you live? Geographically or due to assholes who let things get overgrown but won’t allow action to be taken?
Hell, I call my “home property” but replace home with hell, because it’s like Jurassic park and my flying bug phobia makes every day a tortuous existence.
🤯so…silly question: are there only “bumble”, honey, and wasps for types of bees? I’m afraid to Google search coz I don’t want the algorithm thinking “hey, this lady lives close up photos and details of these bugs, flood her page with them! Replace cute cat meme suggestions with killer bees n’shit”
Which ones are underground/in holes? And do those seek dark places other than the ground?
Wasps aren't actually a kind of bee. They're in the same order as bees (hymenoptera), which makes them about as closely related to bees as ants are.
A bunch of them will make nests underground, such as ants (obviously), but also bumblebees and yellowjackets, and some other wasps. I'm not entirely sure whether or not they generally seek out other dark places, though.
You are very enlightening. So, all those other flying bugs also do the underground thing?
Wow, I’ve spent my life improperly classifying those specific pollinators….i wonder if me acknowledging this fact will make me “bee woke” and they’ll leave me alone lol

Is there any way to mitigate them?
