My first guess would be that the wasps are after something your plum
tree has. Wasps primarily prey on caterpillars, but they also drink
nectar, sweet water, colas, etc. This is what they are after on your
plum tree (nectar, not cola), unless you have some sort of
infestation. There are a number of harmless oils that would probably
do the trick.

Wasps away from the nest are much less likely to sting, but they will
sting if they get trapped in your clothing or otherwise stressed
