  5. The Nesting Instinct Here are a few of the most common nesting behaviors of bees and wasps: • Yellow jackets often build nests below ground. • Bald-faced hornets often build nests along the sides of buildings. • Paper wasps build nests in overhangs, eaves, attics, garages, sheds, and many other places. • Honey bees primarily nest in manufactured hives, but you might find them in a protected area near your home. • Bumble bees love unused cavities in buildings or other quiet locations. www.slugabug.com

  6. The Stinging Truth No matter where you find a nest, any of these insects can sting you if they feel threatened. Both wasps and bumble bees can sting more than once. Honey bees can only sting one time. http://www.slugabug.com

Allergic reactions, are also possible. If fainting, difficulty breathing, or serious swelling occurs, seek immediate medical attention. For Local Reactions: • If the stinger is embedded in the skin, scratch it out as soon as possible. • Use a topical ointment to relieve itching. • Apply ice as needed to prevent swelling. • For minor allergic reactions, treat with an over the counter antihistamine. http://www.slugabug.com
