Maybe it depends on the yellowjackets? If you don't have trouble with hornets or paperwasps I agree it's not the way you're behaving around them. But the yellowjackets here only sting if they think they're endangered. They're certainly Yankee yellowjackets; but maybe they're not the same kind.

Self defense, nothing. All stinging things will sting if you bump into their nest or swat them. The thing I don't like about yellow jackets is that they will often sting if you just walk around near them. That and that they gather around my supper. These are Yankee yellow jackets.

Honey bees, bumble bees, paperwasps, hornets, are all mild-mannered friendly bugs - never have any trouble with them.
