Bees Nests You Destroy - Do New Bees Use Them Next Year?

If the gas has fully evaporated and/or been washed out of the soil I believe the yellow-jackets will come back. Either that or they will find new holes close to the old. They will probably be from a new hatching from a queen that picked the site because of the soil conditions and proximity of plants that will attract their prey. Yellow-jackets are predators and eat other pest insects.

I think that you are talking about wasps, not bees. Bees and wasps are two entirely different (but related) species. Bees pollinate flowers and, if it weren't for them, we would have no fruit on our fruit trees and many other crops would go to waste, too. Bees feed on nectar from flowers and, when kept by apiarists in a hive, provide us with honey. Wasps are also useful insects because they eat many of the pests which attack our crops (they are mainly carnivorous and eat greenfly and other small insects). They can, however, become a pest themselves if they have a nest in or near human habitation. Bees are less aggressive than wasps, partly because they cannot withdraw their sting when they do use it and so will die after the first sting. Wasps, on the other hand, can withdraw their sting and so can use it multiple times. They also use their sting to disable certain kinds of prey as well as to defend themselves. Wasps are a nuisance to most people, especially towards the end of the summer when they are attracted to sugary liquids. It is best to call a pest control firm to deal with wasp nests in or near to a house. Bees are much less likely to be annoying or dangerous to humans. If you happen across a swarm of domestic bees, usually in a tree, it is best to call a local bee keeper to come to remove the swarm, which he will usually do readily and with no charge to you.

No idea about that, and hopefully they do not build nests at my house. There were a few instances of wasps building their nests in high rise apartments. It sure is scary to open a window, and see the wasp nests outside. It is equally tough to get rid of these nests at high floor. Though I think they are very admirable for adapting to city living, I hate to see them building a nest at 10th story or higher.

Nope they do not come back and reuse their nests, btw, yellow jackets are wasps not bees
