You are both correct, Yellow jacket is the common name in North America for predatory wasps. Members of these genera are known simply as "wasps" in other English-speaking countries.
I for one don't like them in my garden, have been stung too often.
Good photo though.

Those aren't bees---they are wasps!
They are not wasps. They are yellow jackets, in the bee family.
