Bees were always bros. But WASPS! They better run

Bad news: they want to eat your fruit, and they'll fight you for it

Good news: they also want eat your caterpillars, beetles, and aphids

Wasps might be jerks, but they'll patrol your garden for you, protecting your food from the other jerks.

They're also important pollinators.
