My parents have a hive of wood bees in the pergola my dad made. They pollinate our lime tree and I love them

She did say bees not wasps

I mean they pollinate too and are important to keep some pests in check. So they are important to the ecosystem.

They are also tiny demons and give me a sense of panic no other creature can because there is just so many of them and they are so small and full of hate.

It is a bummer that these are not mutually exclusive.

Can't get on board with this. fuck non honey bees.

Wasp and hornet populations are bigger than ever. They are pests that don't need our support. We are doing them a huge favor by raising the earth's temperature. They love this. In my area wasps are easily more noticeable over the past few years as summers have gotten hotter and hotter. I've never had so many issues with carpenter bees either.

Carpenter bees are easy. If they're eating your house, just get a trap. Aside from a rare wasp, they're the only things that get in those.

Looks like this:

Also, sure the carpenter bees aren't actually bumblebees? I can't tell 'em apart in flight.

They're not non honey bees!

Non honey bees are things like the blue banded bee, or the burrowing bee!
