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
And now they've pollinated my shoe with their guts.
Seriously though, you're right, but when a bee comes into my home I catch and release, when a wasp invades it's search and destroy. While screaming terrified of course
Just cup your hand and smack it out of the air, it'll be stunned for a bit and you can grab a wing a huck it somewhere else. You get to slap a wasp and you're not a random bug murderer.
I generally grab a cup or bowl and cover it if it's a hornet, but most wasps won't even sting me if I'm gentle while taking them outside, the vast majority of wasps are quite docile unless you bother their nests
i use chemical weapons against wasps because they don't deserve the geneva convention. those anti-wasp sprays are the shit, you can blow them out of the sky with them
