Honey bees, I'll do what I can to make sure they live, and a few stings is no big deal.

Wasps: totally different story, they are like tick's and 'skeeters, pests!

Yes, same here. They do a lot of pollinating echo balance if you will

That’s what I think about flies and mosquitoes

around 40 years ago i was digging a new septic tank in a county park. 30 foot away from the states largest poplar tree, which was also protected under state order as a landmark. i pulled a bucket of dirt out of the ground and saw a liquid dripping from the bucket about the same time the county inspector screamed bloody murder and everyone started running. needless to say i was not really paying attention until the second bucket came out of the ground. i had dug directly into a 12 foot diameter yellow jackets nest, and boy were they pissed!!!

luckily both the 235 excavator i was in and the ford F8000 single axle dump truck the driver was in both had AC so we did not get attacked/stung.

he took off with the truck and dumped, then left the park for 1/2 hour to get away from the yellow jackets.

i was stuck in the machine for 3 hours until they could get an exterminator there to smoke them out so i could get out of the machine.  for about 45 minutes the bees were so thick on the machines windows i could not see out of them. and even after that they were so thick around the machine and hole there was no way i was getting out.

three days later they got rid of all the bees and nest so we could finish digging the tank pit.

12 ft dia nest !!! that would be equivalent to the great pyramid in Egypt. the yrs it took to create. to have been able to remove cut in half and study. Nature at it's best. underground no less without flood lights.
