    I mean I still don’t like wasps setting up outside my doors.

    Bees warn before stinging, wasps less so. Unfortunately all the advice for discouraging wasps from building their nests somewhere is “Slather it in neurotoxins” which umm no.

    I want a “keep off the awning” sign not warcrimes.

    Yeah, I kind of hate the memes where people paint wasps as pure evil and worthless. Some degree of exaggeration is funny, but if people genuinely start believing that, then it stops being funny…

      many people genuinely seem to believe that. I personally have a shitload of respect for wasps, but I haven’t been stung by one in at least 20 years and they usually are super chill. And hornets seem to be fully uninterested in even coming close to me, apart from a huge one that landed in my beer glass, took a sip and flew away.

    I saw a wasp asleep in a flower this summer. Really made me challenge my assumptions
