i’ve always managed to avoid wasps by standing still. they hover around for a bit and move on. however, i’m curious if there are other, safer ways to not get bit.

I just waft them away. I find you have to be pretty aggressive with a wasp in order for them to sting you.
I’ve heard (so take it with a pinch of salt) that in autumn they all get kicked out of their hive and their lives are a big food orgy and they are more likely to be aggressive.
The ones that get kicked out in autumn are drones (male bees) and those don’t have stings.
Supposedly they can be drunk in autumn from fermenting fruit and thus more aggressive.
