Sometimes you can see big bunches of pollen on the back of the bees legs. Pollen is important to humans because it pollinates our plants (aka: Food).

    Paper wasps are generally around ¾ inch to 1 inch long, have segmented bodies and usually yellow and brown striped. They make their nests by mixing spit and tree bark and build a multi celled nest under eaves, rafters, and door frames. They are not aggressive unless their nests are disturbed

    Mud Daubers
    These wasps range from ¾ inch to 1 inch, and are sleek and generally black. They make their nests out of mud and normally attach them to walls, eaves, and doorframes. They do not live in colonies and are not social. They do not defend their nests and do not really pose a threat.

    Yellow Jackets
    Yellow Jackets are very similar in appearance to wasps and typically have a yellow and black head and a patterned striped abdomen. They nest in the ground or areas like eaves or attics. They can be dangerous to humans because they can be aggressive and sting repeatedly.

    Hornets
    Hornets are similar to the paper wasps in appearance but tend to be slightly larger. They build large paper nests that can be ball shaped when hanging from a tree branch or attic or flush against a wall or a hollow tree. They are very aggressive while defending their nests and are considered dangerous to anyone or anything disturbing their nests
