Are there any kinds of non-fruiting trees that attract yellow jackets?

Q: How many times can a human be stung by a yellow jacket?

• <div><p>Whereas a honeybee can only sting you once, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times because they don&rsquo;t leave stingers in the skin. In the unfortunate case that you get stung by a yellow jacket, it&rsquo;s important to react calmly and quickly. Immediately ice the affected area until the swelling subsides. You may also take an antihistamine if necessary. If you experience an allergic reaction to a yellow jacket sting or have been stung several times, seek medical care right away. </p></div>

Q: How long does removal take?

• <div><p>Removal typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per item, depending on accessibility and size.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you seal bees in a wall?

• <div><p>If you seal bees in a wall and don&rsquo;t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they&rsquo;ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That&rsquo;s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.</p></div>
