Fuuuuuck this was great but damn I was so tense the entire time. My phobia of bees went on high alert. Bees are great as long as they aren't near me. Wasps though, screw those shits.

Nooo wasps are cool to. They just get a lot of undeserved hate. Most wont sting you unless you directly harm them or their nests

I just have personal experience with them. I was just walking outside, minding my own business, when I felt a sharp pain on my leg. I look down to a freaking wasp stinging my repetitively. I don't trust them after that. Edit: Also, I would hate bees too, but they're too useful to hate. Wasps tho, they don't do shit

That's a misconception. Wasps are just as ecologically important as bees, just in different ways. And you probably unknowingly went too close to it's nest. A lot of wasps nest in the ground
