How to identify and remove bees and wasps

Bees and wasps are amazing insects, but can become troublesome when they nest over your front door or in a window of your business or home. Click on the pictures below for more information about these insects!
Bees
Bees vary in appearance but are normally much smaller than hornets and wasps. Most species are not nearly as aggressive, with the exception of "africanized" bees.
Hornets
Larger than other stinging insects. They are one inch to one and one half inch with black and white or brown and white color. If you disturb the nest you are in trouble.
Wasps
Most wasps are smaller than hornets but are still very aggressive and will chase you.
Yellow Jackets
Most are black and yellow but some are black and white. They are up to one inch but can be much smaller.
