Hornets are cool though! They eat very specific pests that nothing else will kill- flies, horse flies, flesh flies, and they catchem mid air, also bark beetles and some other nasty fuckers. They’re also pollinators, and did you know they’re actually way chiller than honey bees? Honey bees be straight up gangbangers in comparison, they unruly. In most of Europe they’re a protected species and you can be fined like A LOT if you get caught killing one. You’ll obviously never be caught but still.
Hornets only give a fuck if you’re within 5 meters of their nest and then they will let you KNOW they ain’t playin’.
They’re the real life Xenomorph, so make of that what you will.
Also, somebody pointed out that Wasp stingers don’t fall off like bees do when stinging humans, so they’re way more incentivised to stab you than normal.

Wasps can suck a dick tho.
I’ve only ever been stung by wasps. I was never doing anything to them, they came near me, I didn’t even move, stung me and then flew away.
I am not sure what part of the ecosystem wasps are filling but I’m prepared to wipe them out and see if it makes any difference.
The worst of bumblebee has ever done is flown into me, but they do have a surprising amount of mess behind them.
