No, Wasps are usually solitary creatures but some types serve a queen like bees do.
They never seem very ****ing social to me... if they were humans they'd all have ASBO's.
I really freaked myself out tonight ....

If the stingers were left in you then they were honey bees but if not then probably hornets or wasps..
Could have been worse, it could have been female horseflies attacking you but regardless of that, not a nice experience for you and the family..
**** they are rank. I played footy in Finsbury park about five years ago and sacked it off to sit in a pub.
My legs were gushing blood. The pain from their sting/bite was ridiculous when you consider they swarm and repeat.
I thought I could only be the one sad enough to study wasps..
Fascinating observing them attacking those long-legged flying matchsticks to lay their eggs in them after you have cut the lawn..
And they pursue too, an early morning joggers nightmare, as soon as there are sunbeams then they attack, it isn't a sting they actually rip the skin open to get your blood for their egg laying protein..

Bees interest me much more but you tend to pick up wasp stuff on the way. I know like bees they have no mouth so live of pollen much the same as bees. But the lave are little meat eaters aren't they unlike Bee lave.

Feels like you've been knawed on by a bloody beaver.
We have had an infestation of horseflies in York the last 3 years, probably due to the warm, humid summers of late. The male horsefly around here is about 2cm long, resemble a honey bee, very agile in flight and hover in the sunlight. They have a soft mouth and are literally pollen eaters but dive bomb you often and having such a huge head and eyes can be quite scary to the kids. The female has blue eyes, dive bombs, has a razor edged jaw and is just basically a twat to all warm blooded specimens when it is ready to lay its eggs..
Wasps are my pet hate, I wanted to get to know them on a personal level so I sort of studied them a couple of years back..
I like to know the enemy

That's amazing mate .... I spent one very hot summer studying them.
I used a powerful magnifying glass, to look at them, and it was incredible how many simply burst into flames!
I never found out why.
btw mate, you want to see owl anger then take a decent sized mirror into that barn and hold it up so the owls see themselves..
preferably at night, I want you proper ****ting..

They left the stingers in Joe, so defo honey bees. My Sis had 3 in the same spot, nailing her fringe, poor lass. She was properly freaked out.
Funny thing my legs got bitten playing golf at the weekend, too. I thought it was Mozzies, but one bite on the calf ****ing knacked, and my leg was swollen to the point is was painful to stand, let alone walk. There's a big scab on my leg, so Horse-fly suspected.
I've been slamming the antihistamines and dumped the shorts (for long pants) for a few days.
Horse flies love human legs, necks and if they fancy a kiss then the lips, Carbon Dioxide draws them..
They are ganging up for smug though for a journey down South, just after the Barn Owls have finished with him..

Ha ha, he's welcome to the bastards.
I'm keeping an eye out for dive-bombing owls just in case..
Dive bombing Smugs are worse, you might get to feed the ducks and swans but believe me, his patter is ****e..

I can't argue with you mate ..... I had no mates when I was growing up because I was so boring.
I had an imaginary friend but even he wouldn't talk to me
