OK, so after looking that up:
Vespa crabro, that is exactly what these are. {PHEW!}
Now that I've seen a few, I'm guessing that they have a nest in a small wooded area behind my house. I live in Durham city limits, and there is about a two city block area within (surrounded on three sides by) my housing division that has a small creek running down it.
I believe it is this same area that my bees forage (because I seldom see them in my actual lot). Because it's a relatively small "natural" area, should I be concerned about my bees sharing it with a nest of these hornets?
Thanks!
