are they on this earth solely to ruin summer for people. can't sit and enjoy a pint outside the pub once you know there's a wasp hanging about, they ruin barbecues, and picnics, and lots of outdoor activites.
They help pollinate our plants which give us our food. They are an essential part of the food chain.
They also kill and eat smaller flies and pests like blue bottles.
A very underrated animal imo

wasps can't pollenate plants because their bodies are hard and made of a sort of shell
the bees body is hairy so the pollen collects on its fur and then transfers from plant to plant

Wasps take nectar and they do pollinate plants. Just not as much as bees.
Wasps also feed on other animals as well as plants, but they do play in a role in pollinating planst.
They also take care of many worse pests out there.

Some real waspists on here. Turns out that there are some plants that rely solely on wasps to pollinate them. :)
*They're probably invasive weeds and dandelions though.

once i was getting out the shower, and i thought i heard a wasp so i was on edge instantly. then i seen it flying from one side of the bathroom towards the window, so i just ran out the bathroom without getting dried and i fell over in the process while i was still unclothed. total nightmare

I confess I am with The Jackal on this, although I also despise Daddy Long Legs, houseflies, mozzies,ants and anything else that irritates the ** out of me.

Spose it serves us all right for catching thousands of the little gits in jamjars half full of sugar water and small holes pierced in thr lid when we were kids. Happy Days though.

I haven't updated my wasp thread but the count is only a dozen or so all year.
I too have my "Executioner" zapper and always have it in the garden if i'm having lunch, and only three came for a rece but p!ssed off before I could zap them.

Whenever I kill my first wasp of the summer I cut off it's head and impale it on a cocktail stick which I then dig into my patio table. It serves as a warning to the others. I do the same with ants and those fine young men recently released from Borstal who sell tea-towels and pegs.
