They sure can be. They will sting pets and animals when they feel threatened. They can feel under attack if there are certain types of noises and vibrations. They are also sensitive to movement. While they have the same level of toxicity in their sting as regular honeybees, the fact that they often attack in a swarm makes them more dangerous.

In the early 1990s, Africanized honeybees could be found in the United States. While trying to find a breed of honeybees that could adapt to the tropics, some managed to escape and interbred with honeybee species found in North and South America. They have a similar breeding pattern as honeybees, but the main difference is their larger size and antagonistic behavior.

A Honey Bee queen can lay up to 2000 eggs a day, and the adult workers feed the larvae with pollen and honey for about 21 days until they become adults. A queen Yellow Jacket in Las Vegas will reproduce in a similar fashion. Once hatched, the queen will feed the larvae until they are mature. A single nest usually contains about 1000 workers. The males will appear in late summer, and they will mate with females that will hibernate through the winter.

While bees tend to have a hive in an elevated place, yellow jackets pick a spot low to the ground. This means that you will find them in the base of hollow trees, under steps or under decks. Other common places for nest building are bushes or the corners of buildings.

Fortified Pest Management will not only remove the bees in the most environmentally friendly way possible, but we will also work with beekeepers to transfer them to a more purposeful environment where they can do hard work like pollinating crops.
