I just found a yellow jacket lookin kind of bee sittin on one of my top leaves. I tried to catch it but it fell somewhere. Are they bad for my plant, and if they are what should I do?

sure that this was a bee, there are flies which "imitate" the appearance of bees to scare of predators. and those flies are bad news most of the time.

if it was a bee it would be odd, since cannabis produces no nectar which attracts bees since it is their major food source. kind of odd, but look around if you got aphids around in your grow, some produce a sugary excrements which attracts bees too.

Bees look for pollen not nectar. Resin glands attract bees, they are essentially harmless to your plants unless they have visited a male somewhere

dude, what do bees feed off?! it isn't pollen, so why should they be looking for it in the first!? bees feed of nectar and the pollen that is stuck to them is a bundle plants put on them in exchange for the nectar. the nectar is the decoy to attract the bee if want it that way, they have no use for it, hack it makes life harder on them since it adds weight they have to haul around in flight!
