Do disturbed Wasps/Bees chase you down?

Question

I have a hornet nest in the crack of some bricks by my window. I blew at the opening were the wasps go in and out of and all of a sudden about 50 of them came out and were flying around aggressively. I quickly shut the window. Then I started to freak out because I have an exhaust fan by the window and pictured hundreds of wasps flying into my house to come after me!!! That didn't happen, but it got me thinking.

Answer 1

Hornets usually won't mess with you unless you p**s them off. Bees, too. They're pretty laid back. But, yellowjackets will hunt you down like a dog and chase you 'til you drop. They'll sting you just for meaness' sake.

Answer 2

From what I have seen, they won't chase you down, but if you stay too close and they can still recognize you, they'll defend their hive.  If you aren't a threat to them, they'll leave you be.  

p.s. don't tick off the hornets....  They're big, and mean.
