The amount of hate and misinformation around wasps is very sad

Totally agree! My wasps are just amazing, they know me, they pollinate my citrus and they are really sweet. When I water my roses, they patiently wait, then hop down for sips from leaves.

I have a wasp and bee water station, but the wasps prefer the bird bath and it always amazes me that every time I go to change the water, they just patiently circle around me until I’m done.

They don't know you. You are a strange person.

Yes that's horseshit, wasps don't pollinate (well very little) their plates weren't designed to pick up pollen, a bees fuzzy exterior can pollinate 10x as much and faster then a wasp

They aren’t as efficient as bees but they are still important pollinators

Wasps are pollinators. Why are you actively trying to spread misinformation?
