actually not really. They make their nests in pretty random places like mailboxes, sometimes. Their stings are best treated with meat tenderizer on a wet cloth pressed against the sting. they do not swarm you unless you step on their nest by accident. they usually just sting you and you can get help. if ur alone when you get stung it would be best to use mud to blot the sting. and just in case its not rainy, you can use a leaf.

Wasps tend to be the more aggressive in that they will sometimes sting for no apparent reason. A honey bee will only sting in self-defence or in the defence of their colony.
Over the hundreds of years in which man has been actively breeding honey bees he has usually selected the least aggressive bees from which to breed the next generation, so honey bees now tend to be quite docile.
Other varieties of bee, such as the bumble bee, sting rarely and tend to work on the basis that if you leave them alone they will ignore you.

yes! wasps are more aggressive than bees because bees don't actually want to sting you. bees sting as a last line of defence where as wasps will just sting if they are slightly aggravated

What do paper wasps eat?

A wasp is a flying insect. There are more than 100,000 species of wasps and a lot of them have venomous stings. Unlike a bee, they do not die after they use their sting. Baby wasps or larvae eat other insects. Adult wasps hunt for food by stinging it and bringing it back to the nest for their baby wasps or larvae to consume. These adults also feed on nectar, pollen, fallen fruit, and other dead insects. Aggressive wasps will invade honey bee hives and steal honey or even drink the blood of honey bees. They also eat any sweet substance such as jam, cake, and other human food. I hope this answered your question!!! :)
