I'm newly retired and moved into a house where I can garden. I'm
deathly allergic to the stings of wasps and bees, however. Are there
plants I should avoid, such as lilac or honeysuckle? I was thinking

Bees like most sweet flowers, so best to avoid those. Wasps like to
build in bushes, under decks, or anyplace where some protection is
provided. Your best bet is to watch where you step and put your
hands.
