Oregon – Bees, Wasps, and Yellow Jackets

When you picture Oregon, your mind probably fills with images of lush, sprawling forests, home to bears and mountain lions. But hold onto your hat – the real danger in this state isn’t from these majestic creatures. The title of ‘Top Killer’ surprisingly belongs to the buzzing menaces – bees, wasps, and yellow jackets. With over 500 species buzzing about, their wrath can be deadly, especially if you’re allergic. Don’t underestimate the sting of these tiny terrorizers!

Naturally, we’re all aware that our buzzing, stinging airborne friends play a critical role in maintaining our ecosystems, thanks to their superstar status as pollinators. So, when we cross paths with them in the great outdoors, it’s best to tread lightly and show respect. After all, they’re just going about their daily duties, contributing to the beauty of our world in their own special way.
