Wasp hate is forced. Wasps are no more irritating, temperamental, or destructive than honey bees. They just have a different role to fill, and they do it well.
Now decide what role you'll play.

#クロスズメバチ 【北海道自宅周辺】6月上旬
木の幹の上をハチが這いまわっているなあと思い、よく見たら……どうやらここに巣があるようですね。この距離まで近づいても威嚇されなかったから、普通に歩いているぶんには問題なさそう。この木を蹴ったり叩いたりしたら、攻撃されるでしょうけれども。
長野県では、食用にする種類の蜂です。イカの切り身を吊るしておびき寄せ、働きバチに運ばせて、追跡して巣の場所を特定するようですよ。

Vespes obreres de l'espècie Vespula germanica fent tasques de paleta a l'interior del niu. Observeu la vespa de la dreta que amb les seves mandíbules ben obertes porta una massa de terra humida per reomplir un forat.

One #vespula #yellowjacket #wasp left me a souvenir after I dug up her nest with a colleague of mine. What sorts of battle scars have your focal species donated?

This may be the latest I’ve seen a Vespula maculifrons. They provide important ecological services despite their bad reputation. Her short life will end with the onset of the upcoming freeze, so I thought I would provide her a sweet snack before she goes. #Vespula #hymenoptera #wasps #pollinator
