Yella, like the PT wood.

Sounds more like hornets to me.  I would not call yellow jackets "tiny" and
hornets tend to be more agressive, at least around here, and are very
territorial.  I've had them chase me for hundreds of feet.  They live in
holes in the ground.

Depends what you mean by "tiny" in the phrase "tiny bees".

How do this insects relate in relative size between them and honey bees?
Red paper wasp, larger than a honey bee?  A "yellowjacket",  a wasp, is
between these 2 creatures adult sizes.

I have seen some smaller than a honeybee that meet the description of color
you're noted.  They appeared to be wasps though.  Never seen them in such a
multitude though as to run people off.  They are generally very noisy for
their size, and somewhat aggressive.
