>>2836745Truly the niggers of the insect world. Annoying, aggressive and borderline retarded.

>>2836824are they actually that aggressive? i have a couple pear trees in my yard, and every year its swarming with yellowjackets, bald hornets, bumblebees, and honey bees and ive never been stung, not even when im using a shovel to pick up rotten pears and toss them in a pilesometimes if im sitting on my back porch a few will fly around me but never sting
>>2836745Extra protein.
>>2836997No, they're not aggressive unless you're fucking with their nest or acting like a spaz and hitting them. There are tons in my garden and they never bother me, plus they hunt for pests. A lot of wasps can't even sting you if they wanted to, only some species have stingers.
>>2837010This becomes wrong as soon as you start killing them. I swear they talk between hives. I got stung as a kid, now I kill yellowjackets on-sight. And now they go out of their way to sting me.

>>2837481Supposedly some of them can recognize faces, and they use pheromones to mark targets, so it is possible you're wanted by wasps.
>>2837481>>2837637Yellowjackets release the "attack here" pheremone when they sting and when they're killed. The scent of this pheremone sends the others into berserker mode. And they have an 18-foot vision distance. It's wise to keep your distance.
Camping in Michigan last summer, I noticed that the wasp-infested sandhill regions were curiously devoid of mosquitoes, flies and other pests. Wasps are annoying, but they have a valuable role in the ecosystem.
