Most social wasps actively protect their nests from perceived threats. Bald wasps are known for their defensive behavior. People are often stung when they accidentally stumble upon a hidden nest, or when the nest is located near a residence or where human activity occurs. Containment is required when nests are near areas of human activity or when there is a medical threat to individuals who may be allergic to the venom. Known for their large nests and defensiveness, bald wasps are intimidating and often misunderstood as members of the wasp family. Contrary to the name, the bald hornet is not a hornet. It is actually one of many yellow jacket species found in the United States. The bald hornet is often confused with the similarly sized hornet, the European hornet, which is the only true hornet in North America. In nature, bald wasps are very valuable because they kill many pests such as flies, caterpillars and spiders. They only pose a threat to humans if their nests are close to human activity.
The "hornet nest" commercial for xfinity is a humorous take on how the company's cutting-edge services can keep customers safe and connected

You may notice a few isolated holes on the bottom. They can be in more private places, in your vegetable garden, or even on your lawn. These are likely from native bee species that live solitary and therefore have no queen bee and little desire to sting. Likewise, when it comes to bees, they have hairy bodies and want to fly away instead of staying and defending their territory like wasps or hornets. Below is a photo of what an exit hole for a ground-nesting bee might look like.
