Expect the wasps and hornets to become more and more aggressive through September, when they disappear and die off.

Wasps do not return to the same nest each year, they build new somewhere else.

Paper wasp versus yellowjacket - https://www.rescue.com/latest-buzz/outdoor-pests/how-to-tell-a-wasp-from-a-yellowjacket/

The nests that are clearly visible, like up in the eaves are usually paper wasps that are only mildly aggressive. But will sting and chase you.


Yellowjackets like to live in holes underground and are nasty critters, especially if you run over their hive with a lawn mower.

This, looks like a Bald Faced Hornet hive. Not very friendly either!
