68. In my opinion... it's wasps
I had a huge nest in my lilac bushes last summer. They were black. I can't remember the name for them, but they were very aggressive. The beekeeper that came to take care of it got stung a couple times and he had his protective gear on. If I'm not mistaken they are detrimental to the bees because they eat the larva and destroy their hives. Those yellow and black stripped wasps have just about taken over in my area. Season before last, I spent a lot of time destroying wasps and my cherry tree about tripled in fruit.
