i guess so , just dont like being stung by them !!!!
unless you are deeply weird, I'd suggest no one likes to be stung by them.
perhaps rolling around naked in stinging nettles might be more interesting

Like most insects they are in decline.
Our bit of the building's communal garden is normally full of insects this time of year. I can happily while away 20 minutes watching bugs and beetles in the undergrowth. It's all gone very quiet since the heatwave started. I really wonder what the knock on effects are going to be - can't be good for bird populations.
we were watching 10s of sparrows on the feeder this morning. Was funny watching them queue up for a drink at the bowl of water we leave out. For the first time ever the Goldfinch's are coming to drink as well

A couple of years ago I had a wasps nest in the cavity wall next to the kitchen door. They were getting in and out through a small hole by the kitchen sink waste outlet. I filled it in with mastic and they came back the following year and drilled a neat little hole through the mastic and carried on as before.Leave them for this year, then seal up the holes.
Only this, if you have someone videoing it for our entertainment.What i'd do Alan is this, find a stick 40-50 cm long, put on your best Speedos, cover your body liberally in Jam (not honey it will run off in the heat) clamber into the loft with the stick between your teeth, locate the wasps nest with a torch, and poke the nest 5-10 times with the stick, the wasps will be attracted to the Jam, climb out of the loft, the wasps will follow you through the house like a "jammy pied piper" jump on a bicycle and ride between 20-30 miles away from your house, the destination a lake or pond, or canal, zig zag on the bike a bit to confused the wasp from what direction you've come, ride strait into the pond, lake or canal, washing of the Jam, by this time the wasps will be tired and lost, ride the bike back home the wasps won't follow because the water will have washed the jam off. On your return the house will be wasp free.
Probably takes your mind off the pain for a while anyway.Good for arthritis, allegedly. YMVV

You gotta be joking! I got stung on the arm a few years back and it was feckin’ excruciating. Or maybe I’m just a big cry baby.I do wonder why people panic so much though, the stings really isn’t that bad, much less severe than a bee.
I was stung by a bee the other day, I was out cycling in a group & it just landed on my arm. The sting went through my jersey & was very painful for a short while. I am left with a neat little bruise around a pin prick hole.
A mate of mine was stung by a wasp, it got through the gaps in his helmet, I always wear a cap under mine for this reason.
We have had a couple of wasps nest, one in a bird box & another in the eaves. I got rid of the former but left the latter. I do wonder why people panic so much though, the stings really isn’t that bad, much less severe than a bee.
You’ve answered your own question. I still had 20 or so miles cycle home after being stung so histrionics wouldn’t have helped meYou gotta be joking! I got stung on the arm a few years back and it was feckin’ excruciating. Or maybe I’m just a big cry baby.

I’m never that well preparedI always carry a few antihistrionics when cycling in case of a sting.
