Ray, The most likely cause is the wasps are swarming for their Fall mating season. NASA had the same problem with wasps on the launch towers. The issue is every late August to December the males wasps seek (and fight) for the highest point in their local vicinity. The male wasps are focused on getting their pheremones out to the farthest point to attract nearby female wasps. According to an entomologist hired by NASA it appears the males wasps are mistaking any nearby tower for a tall tree or snag. And yes they are docile since they are focused on finding a female not a tower climber :)
I can send the article to you hit me off list if needed.
