Since then I’ve been stung dozens of times by bees of all varieties, and while I mostly deserved it, I can honestly say that wasps are the least likely of any stinging insects to sting you. The only time I was stung by a wasp was when one was under my shirt while I was sleeping.
Wasps may look spooky, but they are more scared of you than you are of them, like most critters! I have a planting of mints that I love to observe in flower, because many varieties of wasps i had never seen before come to visit!
