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.

They only sting when they feel threatened. Gently wave them away when they approach you. Don’t let them just land on you freely, because that will up the chances of them just landing in a fold or corner of your clothes and freaking out.
