I've never really seen "Wasps" get that aggressive (hornets/yellowjackets are another matter), however they still scare the heck out of me. A year or two, I was doing some maintenence on my BUD, and was up on a wobbly ladder trying to take the feedhorn cover off, and when I did, I discovered a big wasp nest inside. Scared me so much I tried to jump off the ladder, but the ladder went sideways, and I came straight down from about 6 feet high, yeah top shelf is not a step...., and came down right across the sharp edge of a big boulder. Really banged up my leg. So even if the wasps don't get you, it can still be hazardous.
Since then, I've used the front end loader bucket of my tractor to access my feedhorn. At least it gives a sturdy platform to jump from.
