I live next to a state natural preserve with thousands of acres of undeveloped land, and this may be where they are coming from. I cannot identify them with any honey bee race described on the internet. They have solid glossy black abdomens with no hair and no stripes. The drones look like miniature Carpenter Bees. The two photos of the queen show her while trying to fly, so her abdomen and head are curled where you can't get an idea of length. My side photos turned out blurred.

Type: Yellow Jacket hi Karly, your pic is a lil blurry, but it looks like yellow jackets. That is if they are about 1/2 inch in size. If they are bigger then an inch they're most likely hornets. In both cases they abandon the nest in late fall. Feel free to read the other reviews on these wasps or visit the wasp id page... |
