Do paper wasps attack and kill bees in the hive like yellow jackets do? What kind of wasps do I need to be wary of and control in my bee hive area (hornets, yellowjackets, paper wasps)?

I have seen hornets attack bees.  I have never seen paper wasps attack bees.

Like Michael said, I think yellow jackets and bald faced hornets are the worst. I had one season that European hornets caused trouble. :smile:
