Polistes dominula
This nest was on the twig of a leafless tree.
Possum Branch Preserve: near a pond
They are not bees, they are wasps or yellow jackets, not sure of which species though...the nest is paper not wax.
that kind of bees are so aggressive, it will target your eyes to sting. that will really be painful than any usual bee sting. be very careful not to disturb them. I once got stung by one of this kind of bees when I was a kid.
