My son observed "hundreds" of wasps flying low over a lawn.  The wasps
were apparently flying in "searching" patterns, perhaps a breeding
aggregation.  They were dark in coloration, predominantly black.
 
Several years ago I saw a similar aggregation on my lawn.  There is no
question that they are wasps rather than bees.  Any of you entomology
folks care to venture a guess as to what they might be??  Locations are
near Atlanta, GA USA and about 40 mi N of Atlanta.
 
Cordially yours,
 
Jim
