Yellow jackets are mean, but don't confuse them with paper wasps which are chill little dudes. They'd rather head bump you to get you away than sting you.
paper wasps are not "chill little dudes"
one of the most painful experiences of my life. a dozen stings on my left hand and for a moment i didn't even know what was happening to me. As painful as a good dose of 220 volts through your arm
i still kept them around though. As a gardener, they're your friends. i stopped using those tools around which they built their hive
When you pass by their hive, they follow your movements. They turn to keep you in sight … one feels them staring 😬
Yea, yellow jackets are bumbling annoyances around anything sweet.
Paper wasps are aggressive bastards who will sting just cause you were in their line of sight.
There, fixed it for you.
