Agreed. Wasps, on the other hand, are flying terrorists, and must be squashed into a fine paste on sight
Many species of wasp are important pollinators
More like accidental pollinators that could easily be replaced by doing a better job protecting bees.
Should clarify, though: I specifically mean (anti)social wasps, the ones who build hives and go around harassing everyone. Solitary wasps are pretty chill afaik so they can stay.
What do you mean accidental? Do you think bees are purposely going and pollinating plants? The pollination happens as a side effect of bees gathering nectar, same as wasps
Nah, wasps probably just accidentally land in pollen on their way to ruining someone's day on purpose 😛
wasps as in actual stinging wasps (like yellowjackets and hornets) or just their close relatives that are (mostly) harmless to humans?
All of the above, yellow jackets are important pollinators as well.
and ticks. and gnats. and mosquitos. awful, every one of em.
