Baldfaced Hornet Baldfaced Hornet. Dolichovespula maculata. The baldfaced hornet is an ‘aerial yellowjacket’ - one of 7 or 8 species in the genus Dolichovespula in North America. However, it is not a ‘true’ hornet – it is a yellowjacket. The only hornet in North America is the European hornet, Vespa crabro, and it is an accidentally introduced species. All of the yellowjackets in the genus Dolichovespula build nests in bushes and trees (sometimes on the outside of buildings), and produce the characteristic football shaped, grey papery nests.

Bumblebee nests Some nest underground, in places such as abandoned rodent holes, under sheds and in compost heaps. Of those that nest above ground, some make nests in thick grass, while others make nests in bird boxes, lofts and in trees. One of the species which nests in bird boxes and lofts is the Tree bumblebee, Bombus hypnorum. With this species you may often see 'swarms' of bees flying around the nest (see the video at the bottom of this page).

- Bald eagles build their nests in large trees near rivers or coasts. A typical nest is around 5 feet in diameter. Eagles often use the same nest year after year. Over the years, some nests become enormous, as much as 9 feet in diameter, weighing two tons. If the nest tree falls or a strong wind blows a nest down, the established pair usually rebuilds at or near the site within a few weeks if it is near the breeding season.

In most situations when a honey bee swarm is found hanging in a tree, shrub or house you do not need to do anything.

Once you have completed this, walk away from the nest as quickly as you can.
