Fair enough. A lot of people still refer to wasps / hornets as "bees" but this is not scientifically correct. Carpenter bees can go to hell. Nothing against the bumble, but if I'm going to get behind saving something that can sting me or kids and potentially induce lethal allergic reactions, it's going to be the one that at least makes a decent cereal topping.

It's not about you and your family's comfort. These insects are essential to the environment as a whole. You want a livable planet for your children, you want to save even the stingy bois. That being said, fuck wasps.
