📷 Wespen (Vespinae) 🐝

Last year they moved into my greenhouse, now their descendants come back to the same place. It is exciting to observe the wasps in their actions.

Wasps are not only worthy of protection, but also useful helpers. They fight naturally unpleasant pests in the garden and pollinate even some flowering plants. The bad call of wasps is due to the fact that they disturb us while eating and drinking outdoors. On the other hand, it is also because they, unlike bees, are not vegetarians. In particular, the offspring of the wasps needs a protein-rich food and the larvae are therefore fed with chewed insects. Furthermore, wasps can prick several times and use their sting faster than bees, which sting only in the greatest danger and then die.
