Wasps are divided into two primary subgroups: social and solitary. Social wasps account for only about a thousand species and include formidable colony-builders, like yellow jackets and hornets. Unlike bees, wasps can sting repeatedly. Only females have stingers, which are actually modified egg-laying organs. Although wasps are very beneficial to nature, having a nest near your home can pose a serious danger to adults and children , especially if they have a severe allergic reaction to the sting.
