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.
Bees couldn’t care less about you unless you’re threatening them. I constantly have bees in my garden and we can peacefully coexist. Fuck wasps though.
Please don’t fuck wasps.
Don’t tell me what to do
Not smearing myself in jam. When I smear myself in jam I find them pesky wasps come buzzin
Thanks for the tip! I was having the same problem, but now I know how to avoid it!
Bees are pretty chill if you don’t disturb them. So are some wasps.
A good trick is to distract them. Give them something that smells better for them than you or use stuff that they dislike so they won’t come near you.

I’m not giving the bees anything that smells better than me. I like to think that the bee thinks I smell like a flower. :)
I just blow the wasp away when it comes to close. Though the most important advice is to stay calm, people always freak-out and thát will get you stung.
Don’t breathe, they are attracted to the co2 when you breathe out
Also don’t be scared because they can smell fear and makes them attack.
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.
Bees are usually pretty chill, just don’t step on them or put them in your mouth.
With wasps it’s more or less the same. Only a few wasp species are actually aggressive. Most of them are as chill as bees. They just look more aggressive.
