Types of Bees & Wasps in Ohio

There are many different types of bees and wasps in Ohio, and they all have different behaviors and nesting habits. Some bees and wasps are solitary and do not build nests, while others are social and live in large colonies. Some bees and wasps are aggressive and will sting if they feel threatened, while others are docile and will only sting if they are provoked.

Some of the most common types of bees and wasps in Ohio include:

• Carpenter bees - Carpenter bees are large, black bees that are often mistaken for bumblebees. They are called "carpenter bees" because they build their nests in wood. Carpenter bees are not aggressive and will only sting if they are handled or feel threatened. However, they can cause significant damage to wooden structures if their nests are not removed.
• Cicada killer wasps - Cicada killer wasps are large, solitary wasps that are black with yellow markings. They are called "cicada killer wasps" because they hunt cicadas and use them to feed their young. Cicada killer wasps are not aggressive and will only sting if they are handled or feel threatened. However, they can be a nuisance if they build their nests near your home or business.
• Mud dauber wasps - Mud dauber wasps are solitary wasps that are black with yellow markings. They are called "mud dauber wasps" because they build their nests out of mud. Mud dauber wasps are not aggressive and will only sting if they are handled or feel threatened. However, they can be a nuisance if they build their nests near your home or business.
• Paper wasps - Paper wasps are social wasps that are brown with yellow markings. They are called "paper wasps" because they build their nests out of paper. Paper wasps are not aggressive and will only sting if they are handled or feel threatened. However, they can be a nuisance if they build their nests near your home or business.
• Yellow jackets - Yellow jackets are social wasps that are black with yellow markings. They are called "yellow jackets" because they are yellow and black. Yellow jackets are aggressive and will sting if they feel threatened. They are also scavengers and will eat human food, so they can be a nuisance at picnics and barbecues.

How to Prevent Bees & Wasps

Bees and wasps are attracted to food and water, so the best way to prevent them is to keep your property clean and free of debris. You should also make sure that your trash cans are sealed tightly and that your gutters are clean and free of debris. If you have a bee or wasp problem, you should also make sure that your windows and doors are sealed tightly and that there are no gaps or cracks in your walls or foundation.

Signs of a Bee or Wasp Infestation

Some of the most common signs of a bee or wasp infestation include:

• Seeing bees or wasps - If you see bees or wasps flying around your property, it is a sign that you have a bee or wasp problem. Bees and wasps are attracted to food and water, so they are often found near trash cans, compost piles, and bird feeders.
• Finding a nest - If you find a nest on your property, it is a sign that you have a bee or wasp problem. Bees and wasps build their nests out of paper, mud, or wood, so they are often found in trees, bushes, and eaves. Some bees and wasps build their nests in the ground, so you should also look for holes in your lawn or garden.
• Hearing a buzzing sound - If you hear a buzzing sound in your walls or attic, it is a sign that you have a bee or wasp problem.
