Poliste sp.

Polistes are a great help to growers, so don't destroy their nests. If the nest has to be removed, they usually wait until winter, and place it in a similar, but safe, location in case a queen wasp is found there. Its sting can be used several times, and its sting is very painful. If you are stung by this insect and are allergic to its venom, you should seek medical advice, as there are several deaths every year in Quebec.
