Are wasps the orcas of the skies? G-d forbid!

Do you dodge wasps? Is it racist to avoid being around wasps? You see, I’ve been attacked before, like out of nowhere I was enveloped in a swarm of stings and buzzing —but that was nearly seven years ago and it’s time for fear-shmittah, or to nullify my hesitation on mingling with wasps.

Then again… being mindful of the creatures and keeping my distance may also be wise and best. It’s not like we’re dealing with bees.

Wasps are different than bees. I’ve also been attacked by bees, but I’ve had extremely peaceful encounters with them before and after said attack. Someone I knew did her dissertation on bees, and from her I learned that wasps kill bees.

Wasps kill bees! Like orcas of the skies!

ARE WASPS THE KILLER WHALES OF THE SKIES? EATING SHARKS LIKE NOTHING (Do they eat sharks?)

THE THING IS… ROSH HASHANAH is coming up, and I’m wont to reevaluate my tendencies.

Actually… TRUTH IS… there’s a wasp who’s a few houses down, and I’ve been avoiding walking in that direction (alone and also with company) because I just don’t want to risk it. But now I wonder if this is normal. Maybe you people have no issues with wasps.

What do you people do when you see a wasp? And yes, there are many types, but for the sake of this question… any wasp.

Thank you 🙂
