Dolichovespula maculata

As a beekeeper these are the enemy. I do everything I can to eradicate these anywhere in the vicinity of my hives.
 
@Ronald Fults As a bee enthusiast and former bee keeper, I love them. They’re beneficial to the environment, I don’t see anything wrong with them trying to survive. Honeybees aren’t native to the US and if I have to lose some bees so that a native species can thrive, then so be it.
