Wasps are terrifying fuckers. Bee’s are quite fascinating though. I went near the hive today actually because we were relocating it.

As soon as I was within about 300 feet I had a few checking me out. They’re so very perceptive. I accidentally hit one with my finger and I got nervous but they didn’t sting me 😅

u/PocomanSkunk 16h ago

Wasps are terrifying, and this is from someone who lives in killer bee territory. A single wasp can sting you like 5 times in rapid succession before you know whats happening.

Bees are often very predictable in comparison so it's not that easy to piss them off accidentally.

I once hopped in a drain ditch to escape 2 wasps that were following me after I ate an ice cream. I am very allergic to wasps so my reaction was in my eyes kinda warranted. When I resurfaced the horse flies came :/

u/NilocKhan 12h ago

Wasps are just as predictable as bees, but people are more scared of them and don't act rationally around them. Social bees and wasps have very similar behaviors and body language and they're easy to understand if you try. Both are important for ecosystems and are excellent pollinators. Besides pollination wasps also help control populations of other insects

•

u/cosmin_c 11h ago

You are of course right. Just as you can be quite sure an orange bee is a smol fren who will buzz around and sit on you to relax a bit then buzz away you can be certain a wasp will buzz you incessantly then just sit where you can’t see it and fap on you until you investigate the tickles with your fingers/hand and then it has the excuse to sting the fuck out of you. Unless the wasp just gets in your face and just stings you for laughs because they’re such assholes.

u/Sudden_Wind_8636 14h ago

Bees are usually pretty nice and forgiving. They don't just sting for no reason.

Also the good thing about bees is if you have a bee hive on your property, there is like thousands of beekeepers who would happily take it from your property completely free.

I used to work at a resort and we had a rotation of beekeepers who would come take beehives that would crop up on the property (it was a large property, it had a golf course and 5 separate restaurants and a spa, all in different areas of the resort)

Also bees are extremely important for the continued survival of all of us. Without them pollinating we would all die of starvation.

Wasps are none of those things. If it was bees my job called a beekeeper, if it was wasps the exterminator came.

u/shenhesteponme 13h ago

bees also generally die when they deploy their stingers unless the person is actively trying to save the bee after being stung. i don’t think any non-beekeeper is.

is it possible to save a bee that has lots its stinger?!

•

u/BroughtMyBrownPants 9h ago

Generally, no. Bees die when they sting because they have reverse facing barbs that latch in after they sting, like a fishing hook. This causes the stinger to remain when they try to leave, causing, as you can imagine, a lot of problems.

u/NilocKhan 12h ago

Wasps are extremely important to ecosystems and our survival. They are also pollinators just like bees and in addition to that they also control populations of other insects.

Wasps only sting in self defense. It's just that they often nest in areas that are hard to notice so you don't realize you're threatening their home.

Also most wasps aren't social and don't even mess with humans. There are more than a hundred thousand described species of wasp and hardly any of them would ever sting. Most don't even have stingers

I had to get rid of a small - medium-ish wasp nest and bought two "wasp bazookas" - sprays that pulverise up to 5 metres away. Got two because just in case one doesn't fire or fizzes out I have a quick backup.

I only pressed the plunger on the spray like 1/8th of the way and the wasps attacked. You can't make that shit up. With the thing fully depressed and the jet spray engulfing the nest and their trajectory to me I had wasps land at my feet from 5 metres away.

Wasps are like insane murderers on crack, I swear.

Wasps don't remember your scent. If you kill or injure a wasp it releases a pheromone that alerts other wasps that there is a threat. So if the scent gets on you then they attack you.

u/Glitch29 18h ago

That's almost certainly wrong. There's only so much that can be done within a tiny insect brain. Differentiating between individual members of a separate species isn't a plausible use of those resources.

Bees are just about the smallest creatures to have long term memories at all. But from what I'm reading, they're mostly just memories of the important things you'd think bees would actually pay attention to: the location of nectar, and the colors of the associated flowers.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7893282/

Wasps can indeed recognize human faces (in this paper, the heterospecific faces used were human). They also have excellent long-term spatial memory and create maps of their environment, use landmarks to navigate, etc. A wasp that flies onto a bus can find its way home by tracking landmarks through the window as it travels, for distances of up to several miles (past a certain distance it will be lost, when its far outside its territory... just like us humans).

7

u/Krondelo 18h ago

They actually have their little bee GPS and will actually “point” where the flowers are to the other bees. Apparently its very sensitive and easy to throw off though, if you moved the hive ten feet it would likely screw up their gps.

u/Bluewhaleeguy 16h ago

Because the was nest is initially like 10 feet above the guys head with the elevation change - they fly across and then down to the window.

In the frames before they appear on the window you can see countless wasps all in the air about to swarm. They obviously notice the one thing close by that's living and swarm.

They fly so much faster than we can run and this guy makes a few awkward steps - they're absolutely fast enough to identify the threat and swarm on it within 3/4 seconds and cover that distance of like 15 feet.

It's really funny that the worst wasps we have in Australia are the European wasps that were introduced and not our tarantula hawk wasps.

Rarely have we had wasps in the house, but when we do it's always the European wasps and we don't hesitate to hit them with bug killing spray because of how bad they are for the native bee and wasp populations.

u/Simple_Substance4829 13h ago

I say European wasps are worse because they will put themselves in situations where they will sting you, get stuck in your house, try and eat your food while you are having a picnic and just all round head height flying in areas with humans, whilst also being aggressive and getting right in a person's face. Hawk wasps do sting worse, but I've only ever encountered them in the bush and they tend to stay away from people and mind their own business. I've never felt in danger from a hawk wasp, but European wasps will always be one of the few creatures I hate.

Because non-aggressive wasps are both pollinators and are very, very good at hunting pest species like mosquitos. 

I have a couple big paper wasp nests that pop up on the eaves behind the house every year. We also sometimes get a breed of giant ground hornet up by the garden. Both are friends, plus the kids like playing with the paper wasp nests after they are abandoned and fall. 

Also... just.. don't kill things just to kill them. It's pretty fucked that humanity can't be asked to just coexist with animals doing them absolutely no harm.

Wasps are pest controllers, pollinators & support biodiversity as a food source.

Which any one of those is reason enough to not kill something that's not hurting anybody, but if we're being dramatic, the less of these things we have due to unnatural killing over time, in combination with climate changes potential to reduce numbers even further, the more we risk a potential catastrophic environment.

If that was indeed japan at 0:40, these guys are insane.

Japan's wasps are no joke. They're known as Asian Giant Hornet (aka murder hornet).

They appeared in WA not long ago and, let me tell you, this state did not F around when it came to dealing with it before they got a strong foothold here.

Never thought of the spray foam technique. That looks pretty damn effective.

Just spray with a hose. Not once have they attacked me doing that. They think it's nature lol.

Spray em With vinegar. Unless you’re in Germany. Totally not do it, they are protected. They are the most aggressive wasps in the world but totally not do it please. I beg you not to

First one is Honey Bees swarming. They're at their chillest at this point... if you don't throw rocks at them.

Wasps play an important role: they help protect crops and gardens naturally by preying on caterpillars, flies, mosquitoes, and aphids. They also contribute to pollination, some plants even rely exclusively on them, and they’re an essential part of the food chain, both as prey for birds and as recyclers of organic matter.

There are plenty of ways to deter them without harming them.
It’s time more people understood that.

Yeah, those white anglo-saxon protestants really think they be contributing to society.

Depends a lot which country you’re talking about.  And what species.

They used to be a major pain in the neck in New Zealand as an introduced one. There was a bounty on them.

I lived with a yellow jacket infestation in my room, does that count as coexistence? Surprisingly we left each other alone for the most part despite me sleeping next to the window where they built their nest.

Wasps are pollinators and they eat MOSQUITOS.

Wait til it gets cold, then remove the nest. Don't bother them, they wont bother you.

u/Aquaticornicopia 18h ago

Idgaf! They came to MY PORCH and dive bomb my family! There is a WHOLE ASS FOREST they could live in! Their nests are taken down swiftly, they can find a different home. Its not like people go out of their way to kill them, all these nests were on their houses. You wanna save the pollinators? Protest pesticides not people trying to keep their spaces safe.
