Those are gonna be yellow jackets...a perennial pest around here. They vary nest to nest, some are very peaceful but watch out for the ones that aren't. They will find you even at night by attacking the flashlite beam. They have guards at the nest opening and they attack on sight.

I kill them every summer and my favorite way is to get water into the nest and collapse it. I push the hose up near the entrance and run it on a trickle right down the nest hole all night long.
Most times this will get rid of them without anymore problems. Rarely do sprays work as they hatch out from sealed cells in the nest even after you kill all the workers. Try the water.
