Hornets are cool though! They eat very specific pests that nothing else will kill- flies, horse flies, flesh flies, and they catchem mid air, also bark beetles and some other nasty fuckers. They're also pollinators, and did you know they're actually way chiller than honey bees? Honey bees be straight up gangbangers in comparison, they unruly. In most of Europe they're a protected species and you can be fined like A LOT if you get caught killing one. You'll obviously never be caught but still.

Hornets only give a fuck if you're within 5 meters of their nest and then they will let you KNOW they ain't playin'.

Wasps can suck a dick tho.
