Completely agree! People need to start being close to nature again instead of seeing anything living as either food, a pet or a pest because we've lost touch and are destroying nature at an alarming rate

Thank you for making this. Most folks' reaction to any wasp is to panic and kill it by any means necessary, but wasps do not go out of their way to be "mean". in fact, there have been several accounts of people who, by putting out food for the wasps that build nests near their homes, have built a friendship with the colony. All you need to do is show them that you're not a threat, and they'll leave you alone. Take some time to learn about wasps. They are just as ecologically important as bees are, potentially even more so.

It may be unusual, but wasps remind me of times when I was spending time camping with family at a lake in Poland as a kid. They were always somewhere nerby, doing their activities. I grew to enjoy their presence there, as they were trying to take a piece of cake or drink coke from a glass. I've never disturbed them so they didn't sting me. Grandpa many times said "if you won't make them feel in danger, they won't attack you" . I miss them, now it is rare for me to see wasps.

I used to get wasps buzzing around my brassica seedlings, ~ didn't know why. Then one day I saw a wasp grab a caterpillar off a young cabbage plant and fly away with it :) I feed stray cats, and have even had wasps cutting pieces off chunks of cat food and fly off with those!

This is the taste of a liar. ---bruno buccirati

Very interesting to know! Although i know a little more info, sincerely i learned info about wasps before even seeing this video :) I also, when i was younger, i was helping my dad grow the vegetables and crops. I heard buzzing from underground and listened carefully only to find a "burrow". Yes. Wasps usually actually make nests wherever they wish to, that commonly includes trees, but sometimes also underground. The queen bee starts making a new hive at spring when the weather is warm and the plants are blooming, when the snow is gone. That's mostly in mid-spring i think. Then over time, she starts laying eggs in it. Weeks, or months, pass by and workers are fully grown, while the queen lays more eggs. The workers make the hive larger and help feed the maggots. At summer, proper female and male wasps hatch and mate. At autumn/fall, the hive is abandoned. As said so, the young queen bee finds shelter to survive the winter. Winter arrives, the drones (male wasps), workers, and the old queen bee die. Somewhere between winter and spring, the new queen bee comes out of her shelter and starts working on her new hive. The queen bee lays her eggs upside down, head downwards. When the egg hatches, is gone through its 'maggothood', it evolves into its cocoon state and the queen bee seals the hole so the cocoon doesn't fall out. Then the "newborn" wasp emerges from its cocoon and gifts it's sugar-rich liquid to the queen wasp which keeps her healthy, and then the new wasp can do their thing. Wasps have many threats to them though, such as: badgers, european honey buzzards (or the pern), the common starling, the cross spider and the common blackbird. The hives are usually also like paper material. Thats all what i know! Thank you for reading, if you even did.

Getting stung multiple times by one

Ted is the most reliable source of info

It's surprising to know how often we are interconnected to these beings in certain aspects of life, whom we perceive as threat just because of their sting. Its wonderful to see how our system is balanced so organically but our amplified instinct of survival of the fittest is posing a threat to everyone ( that includes us too ). Thanks TED-Ed for this lucid way of sensitising how responsible we should be in finding alternative solutions before going for the easiest solution we resort to while handling the other living beings i.e killing.

Bees: Im paralyzed. Queen Wasp: Lickity lick lick.

Wasps: *literally* *DYING* music: *super* *calm* *flute* *plays*

Didn't know that they had such a substantial impact to the ecosystem. Not sure spiders need to be kept in check as much though, they are pretty good about thinning invertebrate numbers by themselves.

For many years, I used to be quite scared of yellow jackets and sometimes had thoughts of wanting to exterminate every single one of them. But on October 18th of 2020, I made an effort to not be afraid of them anymore. Ever since I watched this video like a few days ago, it really showed me how wasps are just as important to our Earth's ecosystem as bees. After some changes to one of my OCs, Zack Macmillan ever since I conquered my fear, I developed him as a human who was experimented to have Yellow Jacket traits or "YJTs" for short. Thank you, TED-Ed so much for opening my eyes.
