I hate bees and am terrified of them. I was reminded of this fact by an Incident today. Ugh. /rant

Is that bee bees, wasp and hornet bees, or both?

Is there a reason not to hate wasps?

Some of them make figs possible.

Figs are good! Is there a reason not to hate non-fig wasps?

Non-fig wasps are useful primarily as small-insect predators; if you don't want to be overrun with gnats, learn to love the wasp. (This information courtesy of my boyfriend, who is a biologist and gets very irritable about arthropod hate.)

Nope, it is true.

I apologize for unwarranted arthropod hate. I am extremely fond of most forms of arthropods, such as bees and spiders, and should have been more thoughtful about the wasps.
