Cool thing about yellow jackets is they can eat sugary stuff as adults, like nectar and fruit, but the young need protein. That’s why they’re out trying to steal a piece of your hamburger.

Jokes aside, that isn’t really the case. Most folks think of the European honeybee when they think of bees, when there are actually many other species of bees native to different parts throughout the world that humans don’t farm for honey. Native bee populations are REALLY important to the environment, and so are native wasp populations. Wasps play an important role in the environment because they also pollinate native plants. Don’t hate on wasps, they’re really important!
