If you hate wasps its because you’re a coward and deserve to be stung anyway

I don’t hate wasps, but I wish they’d realize the apple I’m eating comes from the tree right behind me, that has a thousand more for them to munch on

Open one for it. They smell the sweet delicious insides but can’t smell the skin

95% of the ones on the trees are already pricked open by whatever animal found them

Okay, but like, clearly that is their apple???

I mean so are all the others.

And you are their meat if they get too hungry.

They can be important pollinators while also being tiny demons.

I’m all for symbiotic relationships, but that should also mean I get to eat an apple in peace. We literally have four apple trees in our backyard, plenty for everybody, and I let them eat whatever they want to their hearts desire.

I think they’re just nearsighted and not very smart

Honey Bee is not even in danger at the places where it comes from. People brought it to America and now it competes with local pollinators.

Yep yep! The main bees in trouble are cute little bumble bees. Since some native plants work best with their native bees, it’s problematic that the sweet little dummies are struggling.

But we just really love their cousins that produce candy in exchange for houses.

Save all bees. Except carpenter bees, which are to be terminated with extreme prejudice.

(/s obviously, I’m sure they are important to the larger ecosystem somehow)

Yeah fuck those guys. Had an awning built over our patio and didn’t even get through the whole summer before one started digging a hole into one of the rafters. Our backyard is now a no-fly zone for those bastards.

Fucking carpenter bees (aka winged termites). Ironically, the males have no stingers but they are extremely aggressive and will kamakazi dive bomb you in the face repeatedly if you get near the entrance to the nest.

In this thread: Animals only deserve to live if they have a direct use case to us humans. People here are not sure whats alle the fuss about mass extinction. Carry on beloved free market capitalism.
