If you invade their space they will sting or piss them off. Some are more aggressive than others but for the most part if you are just around they don't bother you. I've noticed in a honey flow if you get close they pop you just because you are in the way. My wife has 6 and they are about a hundred yards from my garden.

Plant lavender, sage, Rosemary along with your vegetables. Plant marigolds too to keep the bad bugs away.

But the southern area for the most part the Chinese Tallow tree is where they get their pollen, but planting bee friendly plants greatly helps. Try to keep pesticides to a minimum.
