Why do people hate wasps?

[bugmaster ∞]

Why do people hate wasps? People are always like "bees rule wasps drule". There is no reason to hate bees, but wasps arent all that bad either. First of all, many wasps DO pollenate flowers. They also control crop pests like locusts. Not to mention they, like all other species, keep the food chain in balance. Also when I caught a wasp and released, it just flew away it did not sting me. Also only honeybees die when they sting not other types of bees. Wasps don't make honey but that is not reason to hate them with a passion. Wasps are just a little more agressive, that's all. So what do you think?

That is not a reason to hate them.

Hate has nothin to do with it. Wasps cause pain so we kill them and stuff. It's imply Human nature. When the body recognises pain it's basically sayin' "HOLY CRAP! That freakin' hurts! We must avoid this anyway possible!" So since wasps cause pain. We just don't like them. plain and simple.

*Cough* Eradicate them from the face of the earth. *Cough*

I thought we already had a flag, anthem, and an army of at least two. I get to wear the collander - you have to find your own uniform. I am seriously impressed a thread about wasps continues.

Earlier plans for nuclear devices seem premature, but I am open to suggestion as to a battleplan. Wasps aren't inherently evil... but they are close enough. This will be no easy battle.

Wasps are so mean. :( And they steal from bees, poor little fellows.
Oh and I don't like the brightness of their yellow parts, it is too yellow...

hornets or wasp are cannibels

Most people have the phobia of bugs, i cant quite rememer the name but i got it too and it sucks.
If i see a bug within about 3 feet of me, i will get scared. Although sometimes i can deal with it.

If I remember correctly, there was a species of bee that swarms anything close to the hive and covers them, stinging untill the subject dies.

Africanized honey bees. A hybrid bee that was first introduced to Brazil by cross-breeding scientist in the 1950s.

in 1957, 26 swarms "accidentally" escaped quarantine and, since then, have spread throughout South and Central America and arrived in North America in 1985. Never trust a Brazilian scientist. Their reason for making them. "We wanted more honey."

Wasps are the ancestors of lego bricks.

As in stackable and interlocking?

I thank you sir for the visual image of little medieval children pulling out their box of wasps from under the bed for an entertaining afternoon.

You kind of know a guy named "bugmaster" is going to be a little biased toward things with more than 4 legs.

Maybe they should make a cartoon for CN with friendly wasps that solve crimes or teach moral lessons and remedial reading in inner-city schools to start working over their public image.

I really dislike insects in general, and I don't see anything admiring, amusing or appealing about wasps or bees. They're atrocious.

But they pollenate things (even some wasps) and bees make honey. Honey roasted almonds is like bee's saying they love you.

If bees, wasps of any other flying insect gets into my room I just capture it and put it back outside.

Same thing applies to spiders and moths that look really ugly yet get sent outside regardless.

Well, I've almost been stung in the face by one of those GIANT bees.... Also, I don't like being around bees of any kind because it's a bit harder for me to see them.

There're many worse wasps, bees, or hornets in the world tough.

You mean like a bumblebee or are you talking wasp (like a hornet)? There is a kind of wasp called a "cicada killer" that is pretty close to a hornet if you don't look closely and it wouldn't sting you unless you forced it to. I saw a documentary about them once and the guy had to literally hold it against his arm for almost thirty seconds before it finally got mad enough to sting (he was trying to show their stings didn't hurt - and are meant to parilyze cicadas only).

Bumblebees will startle you because they are loud but the only time I've ever seen them aggressive is if you give them grief.
