I don't know if I would call that brave, maybe stupid! In 2004 we were invaded by yellow jackets. They were everywhere, so I had some experience messing with them. I didn't find them to be that aggressive. Never got stung, but you need an exit plan just in case you really tick them off.
Now those Bald Face Hornets at your buddies place on the electrical box, they just looked down right mean!!!
