Yellow Jackets can get very aggressive.  If you do find their nest, I suggest you be VERY careful.

Yup!  ;)

CellarDweller:
One of the reasons that they are so dangerous is their stingers.

When a bee stings, it loses it stinger.  It's a barbed stinger, and it stays behind in the person stung, pumping out venon.  This causes the bee to die from internal injuries.

Wasps, hornets, and I believe Yellow Jackets as well, have smoothe stingers.  They are able to sting multiple times.
