I got buzzed by wasps and honeybees in the garden today, then remembered advice and went changed my black jacket for a light colored one. They did back off and I got my work done without being threatened.
One thing I've noticed is that yellow jackets or paper wasps are the ones to pollinate the currant bushes in early spring. My bushes are at the far end of the garden, and when I noticed that fact, I made a mental note to always put currants away from the house and vegetable beds, so I don't have to interact too closely with you know who.
