You can’t expect me to believe there is a race of creatures living in well-ordered homes who spend all day making candy while their evil counterpart hides out in menacing fortresses that augur only destruction
It’s not like wasp nests are much less organized on the inside. Here’s an example.

At least not without a beekeeper condom.
You’re not the boss of me.
And you’re not that big.
Jokes aside, that isn’t really the case. Most folks think of the European honeybee when they think of bees, when there are actually many other species of bees native to different parts throughout the world that humans don’t farm for honey. Native bee populations are REALLY important to the environment, and so are native wasp populations. Wasps play an important role in the environment because they also pollinate native plants. Don’t hate on wasps, they’re really important!

It’s not hard, but if you do it the food web collapses.
Oof that hit hard.
Fun fact: there are fig wasps (some pollinators, some not) whose whole thing is just figs.
And each fig variety has a whole species of fig wasps wholly devoted to it and you cannot switch them around.
They also murder other insects.
My brother genocided his yellow jacket population because they were murdering his bees (small hobby farm).
A few months later, there was a massive spider and other bug bloom. Like out of a horror film. Everywhere.
They’re an important part of the ecosystem. But they’re also assholes.
Missed pun in title
Un🐝lieveable
Unbewaspable!
Cool thing about yellow jackets is they can eat sugary stuff as adults, like nectar and fruit, but the young need protein. That’s why they’re out trying to steal a piece of your hamburger.
Both pollinate a lot.
Both have wars of various kinds, they have complex & dynamic social interactions & structures, they are great at logistics & planning, etc.But one is somehow less pissed at humans.
No idea why anyone wouldn’t be pissed at humans.
And attack us preemptively.Bees are sus.
Inb4 literal tech savvy wasps post redeeming benefits,…oh shit too late!
