Wasps in your helmet...

Turn on the power, and watch the compass change course.

Fill your Camelbak with lead free petrol and modify the mouth tube to accept one of these. When @waspyfecker hoves over the horizon, give him a quick squirt. Job done!

Glue a bumble bee to your helmet . Wasps are scared of bumble bees because they can kick their ass so the wasps wont go near you .

For a laugh:

A wasp got stuck between my chin strap and side of my head today. Happily, it was an elastic chin strap on a baseball cap (windy here today), so I just stretched the strap and threw the hat back off my head, allowing the wasp to escape before it stung me. The chin strap hooked on my neck and so I avoided losing the cap. Not sure what I'd do if that happened with a helmet... lose the helmet and buy a new one after it fell onto the ground? Like @buggi says, this is rare - I think it's my first time in 30+ years riding and I think I've seen it happen to one other person.

never had a waspy helmet, but many years ago one of the little swine got stuck between my glasses arm and head, it tried to sting its way out and my temple was a right mess for a week or so after.

my brother was once (in his words) bitten by a wasp. he is adamant it bit him as it hurt but not as much as being stung.

Just hope you don't get attacked by one of these...

Are there any tricks for stopping wasps getting stuck between your head and your helmet - particularly tricks that don't reduce airflow? It's a bit of a phobia of mine. I don't react well to stings.

Duh. Don't wear a helmet!

Ironically I have a sheet of plastic mesh used for excluding queen bees from combs in a hive. I think I can repurpose it to cover the vents in my helmet.
