They don't ever seem to bother him or anyone else that walks by.

My neighbor had one like this in his tree, bald face hornets. He would mow under it and do yardwork, they never bothered him. However, me across the street got stung on two separate occasions before I asked to split the cost of an exterminator because those bastards kept stinging me in the face. I hate killing things but I hate being stung more.

I have an uncontrollable fear reaction around wasps, they sense it, they get scared and then defensive, it's a nice vicious cycle.

Bald face hornets are extra scary. One of their tools is spraying venom into an animals eyes, leaving them temporarily blind
