Most likely those critters are not yellow jackets, which nest underground. They are probably some variety of wasp that builds a paper-like cone of small "cubbies". Unless they are some species that burrows into wood or are very badly placed to sting you, in general it is best to just leave them alone and let them eat the bad insects.
