No

No I've always loved wasps.

Thanks for a great docu, I love them anyway, we always have big, gorgeous nests outside the kitchen door, and they never sting us. We make sure that they have enough fermenting fruit to themselves so they are not attracted by whichever sweet food we are eating :-)

Why would I like something that LIKES TO HURT PEOPLE.

​@@Zwifty674 It hurts people because people hurt it first. If all people loved wasps there wouldn't be problems, allergic ppl would be aware of the sting and always have adrenaline with them, that's it.

Wow! This is impressing. Black Widows are more dangerous for humans, I guess... Maybe the wasps try to protect you;-)

Also you can check out one of my vids and the same thing happened just with a grasshopper.

I’d rather have spiders then Wasp. However I hate Black Widows. However that’s what Wolf Spiders are for. They are a Black Widows nightmare. 😄

Wow that's awesome

Exactly why I hate them they just see anything living and decide to “I hate you your going to die now”

BBC speakers?

they are lost in a house. You can feed them in front of your window, on the sill, or on a balcony.

@@kai_fatallysapphic and risk getting stung? I'm good instead bash it's head in for it, and dispose of it's wasp body in the fireplace, or feed it to some birds

In Ireland wasps are like: Fly at his face

@@SouthwestRefuseVehiclesIreland that's basically how Irish people act like so not really that bad.

@@BlackBolt245 yeah man it'll make you forget your impending death for a few seconds

@@goldenwolfae well, there’s at least that

They absolutely do tell one another where to find food! Webworms make great food for baby wasps, who need the protein to grow and then metamorphose into their adult forms. If you're in North America, the wasps you saw were very likely Polistes metricus, the measured paper wasp. They specialize in webworms as prey, and I've seen their foragers come back to the same webworm nest every day for a week until the caterpillars were completely gone.

Amazing, and I"m glad you learned to live with them. So did we. :)

I have a paper wasp nest on my front porch. I spent all year approaching them with various fruit jellies and sometimes honey (as a treat). They actually recognize people! They get excited when I approach, and have became neutral to humans in general (which was the point, so they wouldn't attack anyone). This fall, 6 of them hatched with defects that made them unable to fly, so I took them in as pets. I can handle them casually and they're very calm. 10/10 would recommend a flightless wasp as a pet. One, you realize how adorable they are. Two, they can recognize and learn things. Three, you're saving a life, since they wouldn't have survived otherwise. The rest are wild, though. Don't take any random wasp in as a pet.

What about when they try to nest on your doorstep?

@@ReadilyAvailibleChomper Baby they nested in my mailbox and I just said hi when I opened it up to get the mail. U just have to not be a dick lol

@@fairsaa7975 Bro calm down, I just don’t like wasps. I’m not trying to destroy some random youtube commenter with facts and logic or something

@FairSaa What the hell 💀 why do you sound so scholarly over a question about wasps? I dont think it was ever that deep or about "manufacturing hypocrisy." It is a legitimate question to ask how they'd feel about it, considering some people don't mind wasps and don't take the time to remove a nest even if it's within range of their porch. It's completely fair to ask someone who says they love wasps how they would feel if those same wasps decided to take over more parts on their property than just the garden, such as an area with high traffic like a porch or front door where it could pose a risk by accident since wasps are easily threatened. All it takes it one swift movement to make them think you're aggressive, so they reciprocate the aggression back in defense. This is especially problematic if children are involved.

I saw them buzzing around helping pollinating and eating spiders

That’s very nice of you

You are a menace to society

Yes, they know you care about them! I believe all creation has feelings & intelligence! 😃

OMG me too! I've given them fruit, water, and smoothie drops. They LOVE IT. I think they tell the other wasps not to sting my a**. lol.

​@adonyisrael1724 except cockroaches if i have the chance to encounter one I'd light em up with my incinerator

Their your guards keeping bugs off you at night

@@OS97360 haha that's actually cute

So brave😭

Don'tt EVER OPEN YOUR WINDOW. !!!!.

You should be killing them or calling an exterminator, not trying to befriend them if you are ALLERGIC TO THEM.

GOATED!!!! LMFAOO

Wasp: flies Human: i took that personaly.

Frencisno Charles dont attack it or go near the nest. Also steer clear of wasps during winter when they start to die off and get confused and annoyed.

Just ignore them. When you see a nest, carefully go away if it's possible, if not, then it's the RUN!!! time. If you get annoyed by one, don't worry to wave your hands when the wasp is buzzing around, but only in defence, don't get offensive towards it. If you see a wasp flying around you and changing directions often, make sure that there are no signs of the presence of a nest. Wasps are very unlikely to attack when the nest isn't threatened.

apparently all insects can differentiate defensive responses from offensive ones ,i blow hot air on them & they scatter away ,no grudge or anything lol

Taran966 Correct! It is us that needs training and respect.

One important Thing is that you should not blow at them. The missing Oxygen in our breath makes them stressed and aggressive. Also if a Wasp is stressed/excited (If food is near for example) you can see that the back part of the wasp is pulsating, so do Bees.

Exactly! We gather fermenting apples and put them on the roof near their nest... they work and work and work and eat and never sting us either...

You’re a very open-minded person. If everyone was even a fraction as considerate as you are towards life on Earth we’d have a much healthier relationship with our planet. So many people eagerly dismiss certain bugs for being ugly, gross, or for stinging us, yet defend other harmful insects (like certain kinds of butterflies and beetles) simply because they look pretty. Japanese beetles are gorgeous, yet they’re huge pests. Cockroaches are considered vile, yet they play a key role in decomposing our garbage. We’ve strayed too far as a society in valuing appearance and sentimental value over actual significance and usefulness.

sounds like something a wasp would say

THANK YOU "Sophia T" and "eat hot chip and lie"! Insects are super valuable and honestly incredible! You just need to open up to them!

@@jellycore1316 I completely agree! Sometimes a small handful of insects may inconvenience us but that doesn't call towards eradicating them, hating them or spreading misinformation about them. It's an incredibly anthropocentric view and our hatred is often based on such a tiny portion of species when all in all insects help us and all other life on Earth far more than they bother us, we just don't recognize it or know about it. All life on Earth is awesome and should be respected. We don't own the planet, we share it!

People also need to be educated that too many bees can be a problem. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Any kind of imbalance in nature is bad. Wasps help control wild bee populations. I don’t exactly know what effect too many bees could have on an ecosystem, but I still feel like there’s probably a reason that certain wasps attack bees. We should let that play out naturally, we also have our apiaries if bee populations get too low.

Not to mention honey bees aren't actually endangered. It's native bees like bumble bees and carpenter bees who are endangered and threatened; honey bees have stable and growing populations. An overabundance of honey bees in the ecosystem can actually harm our endangered native bees by competing for food resources/spreading disease.

Never thought wasps were useless or dangerous

@@odessadoo ya true but isn't it only that some bees do that? same with wasps, some wasps kill bees with varying ease

maybe they kill bees, but by keeping plant eating critter numbers low, they also help flowers etc, which helps the bees. very complex stuff

I'm proud of the approach, much better to understand the fear than wallowing in it forever

Same. We have some that end up on our back porch every year and even a couple somehow make it inside. It's probably the worst phobia I have. I can't figure out how to get over it. At least with bees they only sting once.

The only positive comment lol

The BBC is going play it off like "I thought you didn't want White Anglo-Saxon Protestants over there" They're trying to be funny but Bobby Sands isn't laughing.

Yes the only good comment!!

damn I wish I was as lucky as you but I've never been stung by a wasp, or bee because whenever I see one I instantly run away

unfortunately mosquitos are ALSO important for the environment! theyre a big food source for many animals

Tsk tsk tsk

FEEL the exact, same WAY you’ve EXPRESSED here!!

Same for me!!! Congrats!

@@Zwifty674 We outnumber you "wasp hater"😈

My god. What a heartwarming story!

Wasp bad, bees good

Did you know bees sting more than wasps? Also imma guess ur a wasp hater and bee fan. I am a fan of both species as I think both looks cute

@@eaeaaaaa4049 And where did you find that fact?

Personal experience

Same...

i agree, but i still dont want them to disappear. If I could befriend one, I definitely would.

Fat Dad one wasp followed me for a while, no stinging or anything. I believe it was just curious, but I still found it pretty cute. It even landed on me once without a sting.

@@theworthysoul i know, i bet the same thing could happen to me. The only reason it wouldn't is cuz I'm just so intimidated by them. Its hard to change someones perception on something, and I will always think they are terrifying, unless it literally saved me from a gun. It would literally need to save my life for me to change how I think of them.

I have the opposite experience. Yes, they may follow you and fly around. But that's not an attack. When you move quickly, they notice it and start flying because they feel safe in the air. They want to find out what the moving thing is, so they carefully fly around and change directions often to decrease the danger. That looks like an attack, but it's not. If you don't leave, the wasp flies away. I also feed them on hand, I feed a hornet queen on hand on her nest entrance. I've been stung by wasps eight times during the feeding, but it was always because I squeezed them.

And you are smart enough to understand that, which is pretty cool. Most people are not

Keep up the good work

That can be true. I have found that when a new nest first appears, they tend to act defensive towards me, but after a week or so of getting close to their nest, they get used to me and eventually completely ignore my activity near them.

They aren't docile they invade my home and sting me for walking in my room >:(

@@allspagonia3711 Wasps are split into 2 groups, solitary wasps and social wasps. They were probably social wasps. Social wasps like to kill things while solitary wasps are just as friendly and peaceful as bees.

@@trevorjameson3213 They already know you - and you can even train them to defend you:-) I heard some stories like this... highly interesting!

@@joshuaisaac8483 On my window sill, I feed only social wasps - German and Common Wasps. And Bees, and Flies. They all get along together well - also with me! They are all tame, also the wasps ;-) The bees come on my fingers just easily, wasps not. but they all know me and we love each other:-) My partner also feeds them, and they know him.

Actually, it's the other way around.

same i dont blame you. you can use spray paint to immobilise them and make them regret their rage for trying to sting everything that moves

what, this is such backwards thinking, "The wasp is orbiting me which means I should swat it", they are just curious. If you keep calm they will as well.

Humans aren't in a position to say some animal is useless for environment

Yeah....................... usually animals will have reputations for good reasons

There are around 100000 species of wasps but only 1000 of them are "aggressive". They are not "a lot more aggressive than other insects", they are just curious.

Nice bias troll, its not that simple, half the time wasps sting you FOR NO REASON! you could be walking to your car and youd be stung by one, also what your saying is basically never go outside ever when wasps are out.

@@heavyweaponsguy6284 You don't know wasps and are unable to learn any patterns which happen before the sting? You will likely interpret it as to never go outside, then. It's sometimes difficult to tell at first but a wasp ALWAYS has a reason when it stings. You just accidentally threaten its life and then say it stung for no reason, because you just didn't notice. Never happened to me to be honest, I recognize wasp buzzing well and as I love wasps so much I just don't unnotice a wasp getting under my clothing (things like that) usually. Of course, accidents happen and I get stung but I always know the reason the wasp stung me. And I've also seen people getting terrified when a wasp was flying around, even though I knew it would NEVER sting unless its life is at HIGH risk. But that's just about wasps in my country, different countries may have different wasps. All I can say is I am sure the wasps in my country are very peaceful, and people still get SO pissed and scared and often speak worse of wasps than you. Then it turns out they've never been stung. And that honeybees actually do the same thing, but if bees do it people aren't scared as much. It could be called something worse than "ignorance" but it's actually not their fault, as they barely know anything about wasps... their reaction is understandable. Just saying maybe you're behaving the same way... I don't know.

@@MarSHornetsandWasps-v26 wrong. i was about to water my plants and i didnt even do anything and it stung me 4 times

One time I was on vacation, and while I was looking over a balcony, and 3 wasps came and stung me on the chest. I got short of breath and ran inside looking at the wasps that stung me.

… you don’t

ErronBlack666 I love spiders too but I wouldn’t decide between the two

Spiders are cute! Wasps are cute more though.

they tell us to keep spiders around because they eat bugs like wasps... they tell us to keep wasps around because they eat other bugs like spiders.... stupid circular logic.

@@OxygenBeats its bc like all things, they fight and one kills the other

Oxygen Beats - Instrumental Music and Karaoke Are you being serious? No spider primarily eats wasps. Spiders should be kept around because they lower pest populations. Indoors they can get rid of flies, mosquitos, fleas, bedbugs and more - while outdoors they eat garden pests like certain beetles and flies. 💀

Hornets are still wasps.

​@@kingLorshiWhile true, yellowjackets are the wasp type most likely to sting rather than European hornets.

Maybe there just thirsty

And?

I know there was one time when a wasps nest was abandoned on my roof then I tried to break it down as it was totally empty but they just don't break like I smashed a stick with a lot of my power (I was like 8 so I was kinda weak) but it didn't even break 🙄
