Insects Stinging insects can become a serious problem around homes and recreational areas during the spring and summer months. Some are pests primarily because people are disturbed by their mere presence, while others are important because they pose a definite medical risk to people and pets from their painful stings. Bees and wasps are either social or solitary insects.
Social insects live in groups or colonies.
Solitary insects do not live in groups. Some wasps and bees are more likely to sting than others and may sting more readily at certain times of the year. For example, yellow jackets are particularly aggressive and likely to sting people during the late summer and early fall months. Most are brightly colored with contrasting patterns of black, yellow, brown or red. The bodies of bees are more densely covered with hairs than those of wasps.
