A number of bee species literally can't sting you. Many other species sting incredibly rarely. Bumble bees will leave you alone unless you're threatening them or their hive.

Bee keepers handle bees without bee suits and without getting stung literally all the time.

"Just waiting to sting people" says more about you and your bee phobia than it does about bees and wasps themselves.
