      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.

      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
