* One summer, when we had a Polistes Paper Wasp nest in the trailer we
were living in, we read that they'd only be aggressive when they had
reproductives maturing in the nest - and we did indeed need to be more
careful of them when the reproductives were maturing.
I imagine the same might be true of Bumble Bees, and this is that time
of year.
