Mag, yellow jackets are a problem. It's like filling the bird feeder and then the cats feed off the birds making it a cat feeder. If there are enough hornets and yellow jackets in your area they could end your beekeeping efforts. The more they eat the more they produce and then the more they come to raid your hives. Try to find their nests and destroy them. There was a post from someone here recently who now has a very weak hive because of the constant raids. If you see signs of raids it would be best to start using an entrance reducer. Bees have a hard enough time surviving with all the stuff we do to them.
