So what kind of bee is this? Came flying out of an oak I was cutting then hung on in the pile all the way home. Now it’s on my work truck lol.

Lol yes he is homeless.

It’s thick, seems too thick for a paper wasp and very orange colored.

Not sure what kind of wasp that is, but I bet he's not real friendly.

Looks like He/She is just wanting to ask you if there are any house for rent near by. You know, since you destroyed his.

Southern Yellow Jacket is my guess.

Bobby I think you’re correct sir. That’s pretty much what he looked like.

Yup...we call them paper wasp yellowjackets. They are a whole bunch of fun when found in bunches!

An actual yellow jacket

And not a paper wasp for sure.
