I don't have a problem with bees. My father used to keep them in the
back yard. He always told us that if we don't bother the nest, and
watch where we put our body parts, we won't have a problem. Wasps and
hornets are different. We've had a couple of problems at church camp.
I suspect, though, that kids found those paper nests irresistible, and
threw rocks or poked them with sticks. Some kids got stung multiple
times. The staff at the camp would kill any nest that we reported, if
it was close to camp or a trail.
