anybody know what the point of wasps are?

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.

worst insect ever.

A bee at least has the decency to rip it's own arse out when it stings you, a wasp just keeps coming back for more.
Report the jackal April 12, 2007 1:08 PM BST
yeah but bees make honey and pollenate flowers

wasps don't do that.

they don't do anything, they're just b'stards
Report sc789654 April 12, 2007 1:08 PM BST
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

Report the jackal April 12, 2007 1:10 PM BST
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

Never trust anything with stripes imo.

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. :)

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.
