Aren't bees and ants basically wasps? They all come from a common ancestor. Just differently specialized.
They specialized in to not being little fucking assholes so I'm okay with them
honestly it's more like yellowjackets specialized in being assholes, most wasps don't interact with us at all and just lay eggs in spiders or some shit.
Parasitoid wasps and mud daubers are dope little homies with coevolved viral injectors.
Yeah, give me a pile of fluffy cubes with wings over the angry stingy fuckers any day.
I'm OK with this plan, so long as they take out mosquitos and all their ilk.
Points at bees "Why can't you be more like your cousin?"
