I was out cutting up some wood with my brother this morning and looked down at my pant leg and two yellow jackets were on them stinging away, but were baggie enough didn't get me so I swatted them down on the ground and stomped them out. Two yellow jackets usually means a million yellow jackets, but they were all. Maybe they were just out on a scouting mission looking for you and ran into me?
My experience with bumble bees is that they generally aren't aggressive and don't sting, and are usually pretty docile unlike yellow jackets or hornets. I got stung by one once, but I was little and my brother told me that I couldn't catch one in my hand. We were in clover and I kept catching them, black and yellow as big as humming birds, opening my hand and let them fly away, and have my brother say, "I didn't see it" over and over and over until finally I jumped about three feet off of the ground when one got me. Making matters worse, my brother told me I had 5 minutes to get the stinger out or I would die. I ran screaming all the way home and my mother saved my life. Our mother had grey hair by the time she was 29. My brother and I owe her a lot for that and will never be able to repay her, ever.
