Wasps are a winged stinging insect with distinguished yellow and black stripes. They build paper-like celled homes that they attach to structures like fences, decks, porches, and trees. Wasps live in a colony with a caste system that includes one or more Queens, drones, and worker bees. Wasps are known to become aggressive and may sting when they feel threatened.

Queen wasps will lay their eggs into the cells of their home. Her sole purpose is to lay eggs and she can yield up to 300 eggs per day. Once these eggs hatch the new wasps will become workers that will help feed and protect their colony. Worker wasps are pollinators that collect nectar from flowering plants.
