Why baldfaced hornet matters in Stone Oak #

The biology below applies everywhere baldfaced hornet lives — but what makes Stone Oak its own problem is this:

Baldfaced hornets are around, but not in huge numbers, in the San Antonio to Boerne area. They prefer forest edges, so the less wooded spots—like central Bexar County and the drier western areas—tend to generate fewer calls compared to the communities with plenty of oak trees.

About the baldfaced hornet #

True hornets belong to the genus Vespa. This includes the European hornet and the infamous Asian giant hornet, often called the "murder hornet." There are also several other Vespa species from Asia and Europe. On the other hand, baldfaced hornets are classified under Dolichovespula, which is actually a type of aerial yellowjacket. They’re more closely related to yellowjackets than to true hornets, despite the name.
