Honey bees don't actually "need help the most", they're widely kept for honey production. Solitary wasps are much more endangered. Not yellowjackets, though, fuck those guys.

European honey bees are an invasive species in a lot of places. They're actually part of the problem because they are imported for our use and crowd out the native bees.

Yellow jackets are generalist predators. As long as they aren't making a nest somewhere real close to where you want to be, they are good at killing a whole lot of pests.

It was just a little joke really, I'm not going to war with yellow jackets or anything, but one did sting me for no reason once, so tensions do remain high between our cultures.

I have an arrangement with the spiders (although the Toilet Compacts got violated by a spider what crawled on my drying off towel last week, the bastard) and if you need some spiders to go to war I can send some to your aid

[–] Town@lemmy.zip 13 points 14 hours ago

This is also not at all comprehensive. There are many thousands of species of wasps and native bees. Not to mention all the yellow stripy flies that mimic wasps.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I think it was meant as in 'we need to build them hives and stuff' who knows. Definitely don't need much help, those guys

They’re pretty dumb. They drown in my bird bath constantly.
