They pollinate plants and gather nectar to make honey, but do not make nearly as much honey as honey bees. Bumble bees are not particularly aggressive while buzzing from flower to flower and are much more interested in the next flower than they are in you. However, - [Hornets - Vespula Maculata](https://www.thebeehunter.com/hornet-removal-pittsburgh/) - The expression "as mad as a hornet" is an accurate one. Bald-faced hornets are certainly the physically strongest stinging insect that I encounter. It is the only one able to sting directly through my protective clothing or shoot venom into my eyes if it hits hard enough against the protective netting covering my face.

Looks like a carpenter climbed up there and drilled them perfectly round. Actually, the "carpenter" responsible was just over an inch long, weighed only a few grams, and she (yes, they're mostly females) flew up there and drilled a perfectly round 3/8 inch hole with her - [Honey Bees / Apis mellifera](https://www.thebeehunter.com/honey-bee-removal-pittsburgh/) - These are the bees that people most often associate with "bees." They are also one of the most beneficial insects on the planet. Their role in pollination is vital to all sorts of fruit and vegetable crops. It is the honey bees' instrumental and indispensable role in pollination that makes their recent and unexplained disappearance, - [Wasps / Polistes dominula, Polistes fuscatus](https://www.thebeehunter.com/wasp-removal-pittsburgh/) - One of the most common questions I'm asked is, "What bee stings hurt the most?" Wasps. Without a doubt the most painful "bee" sting doesn't even come from a bee at all. Wasps are long and very thin – particularly at the waist. Their long droopy legs hang below as they fly back and forth - [Ground Bees / Yellow Jackets / Vespula maculifrons, Vespula vulgaris](https://www.thebeehunter.com/ground-bees-removal/) - Do you have a memorable story that begins "I remember one Summer when my father/uncle/big brother was cutting the grass when all of the sudden..."? These were ground bees (actually a type of yellow jacket) that chased your father around the yard. They build hives two inches to two feet underground often using abandoned mole - [Yellow Jackets / Vespula maculifrons, Vespula germanica, Vespula vulgaris](https://www.thebeehunter.com/yellow-jackets-removal/) - You know those "bees" that like your snow cone or can of soda-pop more than you do? The ones that seem to show up at every family picnic or backyard barbeque like an uninvited and very unwelcome guest? These are yellow jackets. Yellow Jackets are easily recognized by black and yellow stripes – "Steeler" bees.
