I’ve never been stung, and was always under the impression that they only sting if bothered, but the other day our family was at the beach and my niece got stung just sitting around doing nothing.
Hmm. At restaurants I often assumed they have been slapped before by someone else. But at the beach... Maybe it is that time in autumn when they get cranky.
We often have wasps coming in when we have dinner, they never stung us
Most likely your niece did something to the wasp on accident, or someone near her did. Maybe it was a beach towel, some sand, or a rock hit near the nest.
