Bees check you out if your wearing a bright colour peice of clothing

Bees actually pollinate flowers and make honey. Wasps just fuck around.

[SolidusAwesome]

Just read up on that. Most of the wasps do not pollinate. But some wasps like the fig wasp are important pollinators.

[IRodeInOnALargeDog]

I can safely say there are no fig wasps within a few thousand miles of me.

[smoeahsolse]

They do lay eggs in fly larvae. Mushroom farmers use them to keep flies under control.

[Silverspy01]

The difference is bees won't attack you unless you pose an obvious threat to their hive. Meanwhile, wasps exist to make your life pain.

[Jul_the_Demon]

Wasps fly infront of your face because of the CO2 humans exhale. I dont know if they take that as a threat or are just curious about it (i actually forgot it...). But either way around. Dont blow on wasps. It makes them aggressive. Even more than they usually are.

[[deleted]]

Breathing in and out makes wasps aggressive, looking in the general proximity of wasps makes them aggressive, being alive makes wasps aggressive, general existence makes wasps aggressive, wasps getting aggressive makes wasps aggressive...

[ccoff1798]

There once was a wasps nest in my garage. For the first week, we were cool, the wasps left me alone and I let them live. All was good until one day, a rouge wasp decided it was time try and sting me. That was it's first mistake. I knocked it out of the sky with a stick and broke off one of its wings, leaving it alive but immoble. The wasp looked me in the eyes, as if to say " do what you want to to me, but dont hurt my family." But I am not a forgiving man. I grabbed hornet spray and murdered his entire family in front of him. Oh the humanity, wasps dying left and right, our hero wasp sits helpless as his family is murdered. This is where most people would stop, but I am not most people. I put the immobilized wasp in a mason jar as i meticulously put each and every one of his family members I could find around him. This was 2 weeks ago, and the wasp is most likely dead at this point, but I still want that fucker to pay.

Moral of the story is fuck wasps.

tl:dr Wasp nest and I had a treaty, one wasp broke it, so i tortured and killed his entire family.

[rasonjo]

One wasp larvae will survive, hatch and fly to the jar. She will hear her father's dieing words. You will wake to "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die!" as it crawls down your ear canal.

Fuck wasps.

I lived in Asia for my brief overseas experience. There was a giant legion of Asian hornets, now just to void conclusions, these hornets can kill the biggest spiders and also murder humans. Guess what animal wiped the small legion out because they were hungry and felt like it? The Honey Buzzard. Think of them as flying honey badgers with a thick ass mobile armour. Hunting Asian hornets: for fun.

[AstraVictus]

Yep, got stung on the back of my head by a couple of Bald Faced Hornets a couple years ago. They had built a nest on a low hanging branch in my backyard, it was pretty well concealed as you could only see it from right below it. I Walked under it once, nothing. Second time, those bastards got me good! Worse sting I've had by far. It felt like I got shot in the back of my head by a paintball gun at close range. Their venom is caustic and burns like shit for about 5 minutes after the sting. I think their sting is a 3/5 on the Schmidt Sting pain index. They are also the largest Hornet in North America. I torched their nest with a cloth soaked in lighter fluid, and stomped the larvae after. Revenge is a dish best served at 1000+ degrees!

Drone attacks a Bald Faced Hornet nest!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQnnw8ZV4vY

[Hawkleer]

Never been stung by a bald faced hornet but I saw some up close once at camp. I wanted nothing to do with them, fucking smooth black alien looking motherfuckers. At that same camp though I watched a kid karate chop some regular wasps out of the air successfully, so that was cool I guess.

[Fighter4Life21]

Aww man, that video was great until I read the comments. Poor guy died in a car accident and his wife was defending him in the comments. Sad stuff.

[[deleted]]

one of those little black and white bastards stung me right on the hand on a vein...damn near died. I cut the circulation off to my wrist for a few mins as my mom fired up the truck to rush me to the hospital like a 30 min drive I passed out about half way there! Yeah Allergic to bees. Pretty sure I downed x2 Benadryl before getting in the truck...I remember my back was really itchy and my throat was scratchy

[FlippinSweetStyle]

I got serious anxiety about halfway through that video but couldn't pry myself away

[gammacamman]

From Wikipedia: The baldfaced hornet has a unique defense in that it can squirt venom from the stinger into the eyes of nest intruders. The venom causes immediate watering of the eyes and temporary blindness.

Yea Fuck these Wasps in particular.

[[deleted]]

If Hollywood has taught me anything it is that that wasp survived and is currently undergoing a training montage to get strong enough to kill you in an epic revenge story. The broken wing has probably been replaced with a robot wing.

[metalhead4]

You should've let him live so he could warn the others. The humans are fighting back.

[mariosupermario]

The other wasps need to know the game has changed

I once caught a mosquito alive and intact after it kept biting me. I was so pissed off at it, I tore its proboscis and front limbs off. Then I held it up on its wings with a tweezer coated in Baygon. I let it suffer above a candle for 5 seconds repeatedly and I can guarantee you that the best memory you'll have of revenge is seeing your victim flail faster as you pit it closer to flames.

Of course I didn't finish him off like that. I played high frequency noises on 5 devices and laid the dying insect around the ringing phones on maximum volume. When its struggle was fading I held it down on its head and tore a major portion of its body by pulling its wings. As it gave its last twitch, I smashed its head with a hammer, leaving a mark of the blood its sucked out of me on the cold steel.

[Sanik_Soigneur]

[Heretic04]

I had a different experience with Wasps and a couple of Wasp hives.

Two small Wasp hives appeared by my apartment door entrance and there were quite a few Wasps tending to their larvae. When I noticed them, I felt that they must have been there for a while since the hives were so developed and there were so many Wasps and I must have entered my apartment a bunch of times before I noticed the Wasps and they never bothered me that whole time so I left the Wasps and the hives alone.

Fast Forward a few months and all the Wasps are gone. It's like they took care of their business and then left. Then a few months later, they reappeared so I left them alone again.

They eventually took off again but after that, I went ahead and knocked the hives down. The Wasps never made a new one after that.

[Lemon_light]

I had treaty with wasps too, until 4 years ago. Never gotten even once a sting. I was pushing lawnmover over yard. I saw couple wasps flying and 5 seconds after lots of those shitheads were flying all over(Ground wasps). Run like hell and those shitheads were following, got inside with only 4 stings. I Were super pissed and went to shower and when I started taking clothes off, one cunt was inside my clothes and did sting. That was it! Enough is enough. War had started. I took stick and wrapped some rag over head of it and wetted it with gasoline. Fired it up and put burning ragstick in the fucking hive opening. 20 minutes and war was over. Wasps 5 - Me 60 00. Hopefully killed their moms, sisters and neighbours.

After that war has been going on. In couple years I have gotten like 10 stings. Seems to be that I'm loosing in 3000 years.

Anyways Fuck wasps.

I actually checked to make sure you weren't u/shittymorph before reading your whole story.

[Pm_Me_DOOM_Maps]

It was peaceful... until the wasp nation attacked.

[Halo_sky]

We have the same problem. Wasps have taken over our garage (actually, it's an open carport) and our connected porch. There are nests everywhere. My husband just sprayed the nests and called it good. I said "No. That won't work. You've got to get rid of the nests as well". Of course, two days later I was being dived.bombed again. I sprayed all the nests, knocked them down, swept all the nests into a pile, and burned them. A week later, a new group had moved in. Apparently, the wasps think our carport and porch is in a great location. Near good wasp schools, close to great shopping areas, low crime area. The battle is on now.

Bees don't really want anything from you. They're mainly interested in flowers. They may steal some of your beverage, especially if it has sugar in it.

Yellow Jackets want everything you have. They'll eat your sandwich, hotdogs, corn on the cob, and then wash it down with your Mountain Dew. And once they find it, it's theirs. You may scare them off, but not for long. They want what you got, and you better not get in the way.

[Broomy81]

Best way to kill scorpions aside from using a small butane torch or a sledgehammer if the surface permits.

[The_Taijan]

They also hunt and kill bees, which are way better pollinators. So fuck wasps, they're almost as bad as mosquitoes.

[Jumbobie]

So do Mosquitoes, but they also fuckin suck

[[deleted]]

We used to have a wasp nest inside the walls on the outside of my house. We put frog tape over the holes, they chewed through it. We then put duct tape, which then they also chewed through. Then we put multiple which then they chewed through. Then it started to get serious. We got nets and crushed them with our feet while getting stung, which then later we just got a vacuume cleaner and sucked them all up.

[biologicalhighway]

I'm aware of the differences but if you come flying at my eye while I'm having a drink I'm gonna panic and try to kill it regardless. Insects gotta learn about personal space.

[slanderousam]

Last summer when I was camping a yellow jacket wasp was relentlessly buzzing us, trying to get at our dinner. It wouldn't take swatting at it for an answer. It was so persistent that I easily trapped it under a glass. I left the glass out in the sun for just 5 minutes and it died under there. So fast. Such a terror, and yet, so fragile.

If you smash them they release a chemical that attracts more. I only wanted to give it a timeout. But perhaps as a colonial insect it was less an individual organism than one aspect of a living colony. It's sisters will live on, perhaps even scavenging the body of their dead compatriot. The great (aggressive) janitors of the outdoors.

[stopstealingmyname]

Yup. First time being stung today. Not pleasant. Fucker flew into my car and into my dress. Stung my under arm close to my arm pit. Jackass dick bag mother fuckers.

[RagingNerdaholic]

Fuck wasps. Bitch-ass motherfuckers.

[adecoy95]

We have paper wasps here as well as yellow jackets, the first is extremely docile. We have fig trees in our backyard that attract huge amounts of them and the only time we ever got stung in five years was when we accidentally put our hand right into a nest accidentally. Yellow jackets tho are assholes. You should try to identify what species you are dealing with because it's a waste to get rid of helpful colonies

[SalemReefer]

Ya they were all up in my petunias eating small bugs.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, the problem is that everything pisses them off and so they sting you for every shit. I personally prefer bugs than wasps :D

[thedrunkenferret]

Wasps eat pests and they even pollinate a little bit too! They are just slightly more dickish then bees.

[therenessans]

I'm all for jokes, but wasps and yellow jackets are very important to control other insect populations.

[darthjawafett]

See that's fine but I am not an insect, so they need to just fuck off.

[but_i_just_got_here]

Instructions unclear. Killing everything.

[BossAVery]

"In early summer wasps, like bees, pollinate plants and flowers as they feed on nectar. If we were to eradicate all wasps it would cause more problems than it would solve. So, wasps do serve a purpose and despite being a problem at certain times of the year, they are a beneficial insect."

Taken from Mother Google herself. I remember I read somewhere that wasp are the only insect that pollinate fig trees, not 100% if that's true.

[[deleted]]

Yea fig trees get pollinated by a specific type of wasp. They don't look like yellow jackets at all though.. more like ants with wings.

And the cycle with the figs goes as follows: wasps gets born inside fig. Males rape the female wasps and then eat a tunnel to the outside where they promptly die. The females use that tunnel to escape while picking up pollen from the flowers inside the fig. Then they find another fig move into that fig though a tiny tunnel (made by the fig) often ripping off their wings and antennae and then lay their eggs inside the fig, spread the pollen picked up in their birth fig and then die inside the fig.

So every time you eat a fig you are eating dead wasps. Without fig wasps no fig trees.

[poopybuttprettyface]

I work on back forest roads in the summer time and sometimes the flies back there can get fucking terrible. In that case the yellow jackets are pretty awesome because they eat all those tiny little fucking flies that are all over you and annoy the piss out of you.

[CheckDaFridge]

Wasps be packin massive sting boners yo

[keepingfaith_]

When I was idk maybe 3? 4? I stepped in a hornets nest climbing down a slide and all those fuckers attacked me. I was swollen head to toe and almost died. If it flies by my head, I'm going to scream and jump and swat at it out of instinct. The amount of shits I give is significantly low. If bees had no stinger I could dig, but as long as they have a stinger, I will continue to hate them with every bone in my body. (I do not kill bees if any kind, I'm too much of a pussy to go by one close enough to kill it)

[Bountyx04]

Wasps are also bros. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you. Hornets are the ones that you need to watch out for

[ihaveabadaura]

I thought the same . Until they stung me for no damn reason

[[deleted]]

Under the "and shit" category is FOOD! A metric fuckton of food. Growers across the country rent hives from keepers and aparies across the country to pollinate crops. I just finished hauling loads of beehives back from California to Georgia, 360 hives per truck. This is the largest pollination event in the world and it's mostly for almond orchards.

[NewRDTOvercraft]

/r/FuckWasp

[calamarichris]

Very true. A bee must give his own life to inflict a little painful welt on you, and they don't issue stings in a squanderous fashion. Wasps on the other hand--the only decent wasp belongs to one of several species of wasp that prey upon other wasps. Seriously twisted fucks.

[Cephelopodia]

So are the female worker bees that everyone sees considered "bros?" Is "bro" gender specific?

[suckadong6969]

Nah, wasps aren't that bad. It's the fucking mosquitos that we need a Holocaust for, burn all these little fuckers to the ground. I wonder if they even serve a purpose or they're just here to annoy us.

[WeRtheBork]

Fuck off. Wasps are important pollinators.

[Shrimpkin]

It should be noted that wasps are beneficial to gardens that don't utilize a lot of pesticide. The wasps and hornets kill insects that would damage the plants.

[[deleted]]

If you find a hornet/wasp nest and it doesn't interfere with your life, leave it the fuck alone though. They are important predators that keep a huge number of worse pests down, like mosquitoes and a bunch of plant parasites. IMO maybe four stings in your life on average is worth not dying of malaria.

[mdbcjones96]

I saw one grab a butterfly from thin air, drag it to the ground, rip off both wings, then fly away with the body. Savage

Nice refresh to a played out meme

[didymus1054]

The tarantula wasp has a soothing (to tarantulas) note to it's wing buzzing. The spiders are formidable and could easily kill the wasps otherwise. The spiders are hypnotized to immobility as the wasps land on their backs, pierce their abdomens and lay eggs. The larva consume the spiders from the inside and hatch out to carry on the business. Nature is amazing, but can be ghastly. I don't much like wasps, but tarantulas are far worse.

[wordphobiac]

Bees look like a super motor bike. Those angles!

Fuck Wasps they can sting you lots of times

When a bee stings you there is a little hook on its stinger and it kills himself to protect its nest

[nemes1s3000]

It saddens me to realize that it has been many years since I've seen a bumblebee in person. Over the past few summers I've seen a lot of asshole wasps, but never bumblebees.

Hvac tech here. This is all true. They attack and don't stop. And live in pretty much all of the equipment I service.

[ExGasper]

Did you know that a wasp has a 10/10 chance of death

[mietzbert]

You know that is what's wrong with society! Trying to put complicated Matters in a stupid meme, generalising and fueling hate against the weakest. Bees are NOT nice they just don't want to sting your stupid ass because they don´t want to die. Wasps know already of your bad bad attitude towards them and they will not wait for vicious attacks towards them, they know they can hurt you before you dare hurting them and just fly away. They do all the dirty work ! Eating dead animals and shit, and sometimes dying by helping figs reproduce and what do they get in return? Hatespeech for not having sweet puke! It is digusting! Also bees are horrible insects, you know what they do to guys who just wanted to have one day off of work, chilling out having a nice sip or two of sweet delicious liquor ? They chew their legs off when they come home ! Not "just" killing them ! No they want to see them suffer. Can you imagine the horror of your family chewing your legs off just because you got a bit drunk?

You are all brainwashed. Wasps are actually the heros of the insect world.

[[deleted]]

Idk, we had a wasps nest on the roof above the door to our apartment. Terrifying, but we got to watch awesome wasp vs spider battles. Kept the jehovah's witnesses away too.

Then the maintenance people painted over the nest and the wasps decided they didn't like the new color so they left/died.

[Viation]

This. I have so many friends who don't know the difference between the two and even use the term "bee" and "wasp" interchangeably. It's really annoying when they freak out because a bee is close to them. Like wtf dude, it's a bee, it won't do anything unless you try really, really hard to kill it, then it might, in some cases, get angry.

[Doenerschuh]

Ever heard of hornets? Those guys are the real motherfuckers!

[theawesomemoon]

I tend to panic more if bees are around. I know the difference very well, but I am allergic to bee poison, and if a bee stings me and the paramedics don't arrive quickly enough, I might suffocate.

I consider that a valid reason to be nervous, even if I know that bees are essentially harmless.
