∙ 11y agoIn my personal experience with wasps, bees and hornets, I have never known any of them to sting for no reason. Being near a nest may elicit a defensive response, meaning they may hit you (by flying into you on purposes, without stinging) or fly around your head as a warning. If you do not heed their warning, they may then escalate their response with one or more stings. Or, some of the more aggressive species may sting as their initial response.
I have also noted that if I pinch a stinging insect, say… in my arm when I bend my elbow or in my leg when I bend my knee, they may defensively sting at that point. If one somehow gets into my shirt, they may eventually sting because of being trapped. Or, if they get tangled in your hair, they may sting. In some cases, some stinging insects have a passionate dislike for certain colors. Bees dislike black and, if you are warring black and get near their hive, they may sting whatever it is you are warring that is black. If black pants for example, they may sting the pants and sting you as well (right through the pants) in the process. However, they don't seem to sting black if they are away from their hive. If you are running across the lawn bare-foot and a bee is working flowers in the lawn, you may step on that bee and get stung. If you swat at a stinging insect, they may defend themselves by stinging you. And, of course, if you mess with their nest, they may very well sting you in defense.
But, to sum-up, have I ever seen a stinging insect, away from its nest, just fly up for no reason and sting someone? I have never seen that happen.
