i've always managed to avoid wasps by standing still. they hover around for a bit and move on. however, i'm curious if there are other, safer ways to not get bit.

Bees are pretty chill if you don't disturb them. So are some wasps.

A good trick is to distract them. Give them something that smells better for them than you or use stuff that they dislike so they won't come near you.

I'm not giving the bees anything that smells better than me. I like to think that the bee thinks I smell like a flower. :)
