Smoke doesn't stun bees. It makes them think there is a fire and they begin to gorge themselves with honey in preparation for fleeing. While they are doing that, they mostly ignore you. Might work that way with wasps, but I don't know that for sure and I'm betting you don't either. Most wasps don't collect nectar to evaporate into honey, they eat meat in the form of other insects.
