Agreed. Wasps, on the other hand, are flying terrorists, and must be squashed into a fine paste on sight
Many species of wasp are important pollinators
And now they've pollinated my shoe with their guts.
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
I generally grab a cup or bowl and cover it if it's a hornet, but most wasps won't even sting me if I'm gentle while taking them outside, the vast majority of wasps are quite docile unless you bother their nests
right, hear me out though.
squish
edit: some wasps are chill though to be fair. Mud wasps are doppy little guys who just kinda bop around. They get the cup
Sounds like you've never seen a yellowjacket. Those things are super nasty by default, don't even have to be anywhere near their nests.
Had them living under my porch a while, used to sit out there and watch them buzz around
