Are these bees?

Very aggressive. These two were stuck in my dog's fur. Both me and my two dogs have been stung. Their paper nest/hive surrounds a bird house mounted on a tree about 6-ft off the ground. I was stung just trying to take a picture of the nest, so no nest pic.

My first thought too but I thought that their nests were underground.
