They are likely bees, wasps or hornets. Bees are usually harmless, especially bumble bees. Wasps or hornets are more aggressive and can be making a nest near your home.

Having an unidentifiable bug in your backyard can be troubling. More often than not a yellow and black flying bug is a hornet, wasp or bumblebee.

They could be bees, wasps, yellowjackets (a type of wasp), or some type of fly such as the hoverfly which looks like a bee or wasp. Hoverflies are harmless; bees and wasps can sting but bees are not nearly as aggressive as wasps.

The bugs are a form of bee. They could be yellow jackets, honeybees or wasps. If you see a nest in your yard then it is a bee. Beware they will sting. if you bother them they will sting you. Be care ful where you walk because some bees nest in the ground.
