Beekeepers: How Will Wasps Attack Unprovoked?

Whether you are a seasoned professional beekeeper or simply have a passion for all things bee, it is never a good idea to get too close to a wasp’s nest. The reason is that wasps can become extremely aggressive and will attack you if they believe you are a threat to their nest.

Thankfully, there are some things you can do to avoid getting stung. Wearing a long sleeved shirt is a good start. Also, make sure to wash your hands well after getting stung.

A wasp’s sting can be extremely painful. The venom that is released will cause a painful burn that can last for hours. Some people also experience an allergic reaction to the venom. These people may feel short of breath or become extremely ill. You can also take over-the-counter medications to ease the pain.

One of the easiest ways to avoid a wasp sting is to paint your eaves blue. This will prevent the wasps from constructing their nest in your house. You can also use a yellow and white combination to avoid getting stung.

Another way to prevent getting stung is to wear a red shirt. Wasps can be attracted to strong scents. You may also want to consider wearing a yellow and white combination if you have children.

While most species of wasps are not aggressive in a literal sense, they can be very territorial and will attack any person who steps on their nest.
