Bees are also huge pollinators, capable of essentially running the pollination of the entire planet. If bees ever vanished we would lose 90% of our entire ecosystem. I know right, that’s crazy. So what do you do with a bee nest on your property? Try as hard as you can to ignore it and when it gets to a bad call in some professionals to remove it. Now wasp nests come in far more variety. The mud wasp makes its nest in mud and is very non-aggressive. They will even prefer to leave a damaged or broken nest and build a new one that tries to sting the person or animal who destroyed it. They keep to themselves and are very much loners. If you see them, don’t kill them because they won’t hurt you and they keep your garden clear of all kinds of much worse infestations. Now if you have yellow jackets on your property or even worse, great black wasps then you are in danger. These wasps are highly aggressive and will attack anyone that approaches the nest. The great black wasp tends to be solo but can also live in a small nest of 10,000 wasps, the yellow jacket can have a nest of up to 50,000 wasps and can rain down fire and brimstone on your property in a very short time. Most nests start as a single queen who has just hibernated through the winter. When the spring comes she makes a nest and then it grows and grows through the months until the next winter when all the workers and other wasps die and the queen crawls into some tight space to hibernate again for the winter. This process can continue and wasps can take over old dead nests so its important to remove them after you kill them.
