Bald-faced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

These are the insects responsible for some of the large papery wasp nests you see (there are other species that build such nests in our area). This one is scraping wood fibres off the old boards of the Insect Hotel, which will be used to make pulp to create the nest.

Do these have a nasty sting? Are they aggressive like some our our hornets can be if disturbed?
