Wasps are wee b@#%&¥ds

Only been stung once when I was really young but I only remember it as the worst pain ever to happen to me

Which is why to this day I hate them

My nextdoor neighbour, who had several hives, once told me that wasps pollinate far more plants than bees.

Bees all day long.

Thousands of honeybees gathered in the garden recently, sat about 6 foot just watching them till the beekeeper came and collected his free earnings. Truly fascinating.

Bees don't seem to pester you like wasps do. They just do their own thing.

Wasps on the other hand seem to love pissing people off by hovering around them and the more you try to wave them away the more they try to get in your face.

Wasps are much more diverse than people think and some species play a very important role in pests control, others in pollination-especially important for the fig lovers out there.

Honeybees are often mistaken for wasps.

Personally I am allergic to wasp stings so the little fuckers can die - kill or be(e) killed

Figs?

From Wikipedia;

Though the lives of individual species differ, a typical pollinating fig wasp life cycle is as follows. At the beginning of the cycle, a mature female pollinator wasp enters the immature "fruit" (actually a stem-like structure known as a syconium) through a small natural opening (the ostiole) and deposits her eggs in the cavity. Forcing her way through the ostiole, she often loses her wings and most of her antennae. To facilitate her passage through the ostiole, the underside of the female's head is covered with short spines that provide purchase on the walls of the ostiole. In depositing her eggs, the female also deposits pollen she picked up from her original host fig. This pollinates some of the female flowers on the inside surface of the fig and allows them to mature. After the female wasp lays her eggs and follows through with pollination, she dies. After pollination, there are several species of non-pollinating wasps that deposit their eggs before the figs harden. These wasps act as parasites to either the fig or possibly the pollinating wasps. As the fig develops, the wasp eggs hatch and develop into larvae. After going through the pupal stage, the mature male’s first act is to mate with a female. The males of many species lack wings and cannot survive outside the fig for a sustained period of time. After mating, a male wasp begins to dig out of the fig, creating a tunnel through which the females escape.

Once out of the fig, the male wasps quickly die. The females find their way out, picking up pollen as they do. They then fly to another tree of the same species, where they deposit their eggs and allow the cycle to begin again.

Wasps kill Bees, I only found this out recently. Bees are good creatures I have many plants that attract them to my garden, I actually sit right in the middle of buzzing Bees and never ever got stung ever

They're all essential, especially as wildlife numbers are in decline
