(CNN) - Scientists issued a buzzworthy warning to Alabama residents: thousands of wasps are making the state home in what are called perennial yellow jacket nests. In 2006, a colony of 15,000 yellow jackets -- the size of a Volkswagen Beetle -- was one of 90 perennial nests located in Alabama that year.

The massive wasp fortresses are nests that survive into a second year. The fear is that the rising numbers could match those from 2006 when 90 "super nests" were found by entemologist Charles Ray. Ray and other officials have already issued a warning to residents to expect an increased number of nests this year, the New York Times reports. According to the Times, yellow jacket stings account for almost all stinging deaths in the U.S.Yellow jackets attack in large numbers and sting repeatedly, unlike honey bees which only sting once.
