Fewer stings, for one thing:
Wasps… they’re pretty annoying. But what would happen if all the wasps in the world just disappeared? Well, before you start celebrating, let’s have a little look at some of the lesser-known wonders of wasps. If there are no wasps, it’s not just the insect that would be lost, but a complex society with some surprising similarities to our own. All wasps have a role to fulfil - be it as a queen, or the wasp equivalent of a caretaker, a guard, or even a nanny.
Studies show people associate bees with more positive, cuddly imagery - like honey, flowers, and pollen. While wasps evoke more negative terms - like stinging, pain, and rage. But this is unfair because wasps perform many of the same functions as bees, and wasps are crucial pollinators too. In fact, if wasps didn’t exist, we’d lose over 100 different types of orchids and figs too.
