Gall wasps and related never sting unless pressure is applied. Up north paper wasps would attack but in Florida I have only been attacked once about 15 years ago by a species I have never seen before or since. Wasps do a great job of patroling for pests. I plant pest plants for the only purpose of attracting wasps and lady bugs.
