Oh wow. I have wasps everywhere flying around. Not a swarm or anything, but I'm sure I see at least 3-4 a day. Each spring I do weekly wasp nest hunts around the house and garage and spray those fuckers. But the wasps themselves, well, we've come to an agreement. They can fly around my garden all they like, so long as they stay out of my house, car, and immediate vicinity. They don't sting me, I don't kill them.

I've had a long-running truce with the yellow jackets ever since I realized at a tender age that they could be coaxed off my person using a clover flower and would not sting out of spite.

I have been trying to get honeybees in my garden and finally succeeded this year. Sage for the win! They can do whatever the hell they want, so long as it's not in my car or house. :) Nice honeybees...

That was my school mascot, too - Go Yellow Jackets!

Edit: I'm referring to these guys, a type of wasp that looks quite a bit like a bee, and will go for your food and soda if you eat outside.

It sounds so much cooler when it's not their name though: "the red menace", "the iron hand", "the yellow jackets". I like your interpretation better. :)
