Hi, I was told that you might be able to help me with an investigation I am doing for one of my college classes. I am a middle school education major and I am conducting a science investigation that might be appropriate for middle school students to do. Here are the details: During the summer I discovered a number of bees in my attic which I later determined to be yellowjackets. They were eventually exterminated but I was unable to retrieve the nest because it was too far back in between the walls of the house. I have some questions about why these bees chose to nest in my attic and about their behaviors. 1. Are there different types of yellow jackets? How can I determine what type of yellowjacket was in my attic? 2. Is it common for these bees to nest in homes and attics? Why? 3. What do their nests look like? 4. Do yellowjackets produce honey like regular bees? 5. What is the hierarchy among the yellowjackets? 6. Why are they so aggressive? I hope that you will be able to answer some of my questions. If you can't I would appreciate it if you could direct me to someone who can. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
