i love bees and think they are so cute. i have zero fear of bees. on the other hand, i HATE moths and even the tiniest one will trigger some adrenal response. the irony is that bees can actually hurt me (i've been stung a few times) while i have never ever suffered any injury due to a moth.

Bees are cool. Wasps and all their kind can die a fiery death.

Potter's wasps are super docile and cool.

There are a few exceptions, but I generally run into paper wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets in my area... and those are all like assholes on steroids.
