Bees couldn’t care less about you unless you’re threatening them. I constantly have bees in my garden and we can peacefully coexist. Fuck wasps though.

Not smearing myself in jam. When I smear myself in jam I find them pesky wasps come buzzin

Bees are pretty chill if you don't disturb them. So are some wasps.

A good trick is to distract them. Give them something that smells better for them than you or use stuff that they dislike so they won't come near you.

I just blow the wasp away when it comes to close. Though the most important advice is to stay calm, people always freak-out and thát will get you stung.

They only sting when they feel threatened. Gently wave them away when they approach you. Don’t let them just land on you freely, because that will up the chances of them just landing in a fold or corner of your clothes and freaking out.

Don't breathe, they are attracted to the co2 when you breathe out

Bees are usually pretty chill, just don't step on them or put them in your mouth.

With wasps it's more or less the same. Only a few wasp species are actually aggressive. Most of them are as chill as bees. They just look more aggressive.

I just waft them away. I find you have to be pretty aggressive with a wasp in order for them to sting you.

I've heard (so take it with a pinch of salt) that in autumn they all get kicked out of their hive and their lives are a big food orgy and they are more likely to be aggressive.
