Around here, they usually set up, high in a tree. You often can’t see the nest, until fall. Yellowjackets, on the other hand, dig holes; often quite near houses. They are also quite aggressive. You can easily disturb their nests. Also, I don’t think hornet stings are as venomous as yellowjacket stings (they probably don’t need to be). Being swarmed by yellowjackets really sucks. I’d pick hornets over yellowjackets, any day.
