Bees and wasps are the same, we just abuse bees for honey and they are liked for that reason alone.

In my limited experience I can confirm that at least some kinds of wasps are more than chill even directly near their nests.
Some are not even heavily interested in human food and in multiple occations they landed on my hands, cleaned their legs and flew away again.
In the last few years we had at least 3 nests within the roof of the house without an issue.drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Once I was spraying a hive of hornets. One of them collapses outside of the next and another flew grabbed him and pulled him back into the nest. Fucking broke my heart.

And I’ve had a wasp sting me just because I deserve to get fucked, I suppose. It just flew up, landed on my hand, sting me, then fucked off back to whichever circle of hell whence it emerged. There were dozens of other people around, but the allergic teenager was the only one who needed to have their weekend ruined.
