Detailed explanation-1: -Wasps tend to be not aggressive unless provoked, but in the late summer months shifts in their diet pattern and the breakdown of the social structure of the colony changes their behaviour. In spring, wasps are busy rearing their young wasp larvae and expanding the colony.
Detailed explanation-2: -A mild reaction is normally identified by pain at the sting site, a welt or mark where the sting entered the body, and a small area of swelling that disappears in a couple of days. A moderate reaction may include more serious swelling and a rash that spreads to other parts of the body other than the affected area.
Detailed explanation-3: -Both social wasps and honeybees use what are called alarm pheromones to warn their buddies about nearby dangers. Pheromones are chemical messengers that travel through the air and affect other animals behavior. So if a hive or nest is disturbed, guard wasps will send out these small molecules to rally the troops.
