If you do not know the answer to this yet, you have never encountered them. So true! If you don't disturb them in anyway, you might slip by without any problems. But if you stomp around in the woods, drag your feet, swat one in passing or bother them with strong perfume, look out. You will have your hands full, along with your shirt, pants and unmentionables! I, myself and others I know, have come out of their clothes in the woods, Really, because, the clothes were full of yellow jackets! Boy, you don't want to snuggle up with them. If you happen to step in their nest accidently, they fly up your pant leg, no polite questions asked! You instantly have a very real big problem! They will fly down your shirt and they sting the entire time, no stopping for a break to re-group here. They are just guarding their nest and that is the way of nature, but they do take their duties to heart. So, yes to say they are aggressive is putting it as nicely as possible.
