    Wasps aren’t evil. They are important pollinators and they are literally just hanging out. I am sick and tired of the wasp hate.

        They are quite aggressive when there are no more flowers/nectar in the end of summer. They don’t store “food” like bees do, they just have nothing so they want your bologna

          That’s not really the case. The adult wasps are vegetarian, they may drink your soda, but your bologna does nothing for them. They want your bologna for their carnivorous larvae - it’s for the children.

    Wasps are pretty chill unless you’re being the asshole.

      Drywall is pretty much the same, so yes, you can, and the typical US McMasion is pretty menacing in its environmental impact (and looks shit as well).

          Badly insulated and huge open spaces that waste a lot of power if heated or cooled. In addition the entire concept of car dependent suburbs and sprawling development into the country side is an environmental disaster all on its own.

      The bees would still overcome the wasp, assuming it’s a large hive. The wasp will have practical limitations on the amount of ammunition for the weapon (also the question of whether it can reload before getting swarmed) and the ceramic armour won’t help against the bees massing together to form a ball of bees around the wasp and overheating it until it dies.

      Edit: Apparently it depends on the type of bees as to whether they do the heat ball of death thing, so your mileage may vary.

    Wait until you hear about mushrooms. This one tastes great. This one will send you to a deep mind state for an afternoon. This one will melt your liver. They all look the same.
