      The exploiter mindset at work, smh, bees are good because you can steal their honey, wasps are bad for defending themselves!

        Yeah i actually had the same thought while writing the comment, but wanted to commit to the bit.

        “hardworking contributors to society” automatically makes me feel yucky. usually the kind of people that uses words like that seriously, are the people profiting the most from capitalism.

        From a natural point of view (without humans in the picture), bees are probably better at cooperation than wasps, which would make them better at “society” but im no biologist or philosopher so meh.

      Bees are more usefull for us, not for the nature. Wasp also are hardworking animals (ants belong to the same family), but their use in the nature is different, not for pollination, but same as other predators, but for the population balance of other species among others.
