Is any one else having trouble with Yellow Jacket bees this year? They seem extremely aggressive. I have so many in my area that I don't go out to my patio now until after the sunsets. I put a couple of Yellow Jacket traps out that I bought at Home Depot, I come home and they are full of Yellow Jackets.

I do remember hearing someone else talking about them....I just can't remember where..

I have lived here for 15 years, and I have never seen this many yellow jackets in the late summer. I got stung in the arm the other day. I didn't even swat at it, it just stung me in the arm. They seem extremely aggressive, not at all like a honey bee.

I was just reading a thread on another forum and the guy said to put out some ground beef for them. He said when they pick it up, they will fly real slow back to their nest due to the weight of the beef and you will be able to follow them, and then destroy the nest. He said they never go over a couple hundred feet from their nest. What kind of a bee eats beef? Are yellow jackets even a bee?
