Default Encounter with a queen wasp

I was stung by a wasp in the garden years ago and it was incredibly
painful. I was in shock, and felt unwell for about five days. Like you,
though, I like them and frequently rescue them from being trapped
indoors, or drowning. They are very useful insects.

And they attack and rob bee-hives :-(

That's hornets. I saw them do it in Germany.
