Wasps are nature’s pest-controllers; they pollinate just as well as bees and may be important back-up pollinators in degraded habitats. Every facet of nature has a role to play. Wasps are as critical in ecosystems as any other insect, and certainly as important as their more popular cousins, the bees. Wasps are undiscovered medicine cabinets, waiting for science to uncover.

They are one of the most unwelcome signs of summer. Universally disliked, they are swatted, trapped and cursed. But would a wasp-free world really be a better place?
Despite their poor public image, wasps are incredibly important for the world’s economy and ecosystems. Without them, the planet would be pest-ridden to biblical proportions, with much reduced biodiversity. They are a natural asset of a world dominated by humans, providing us with free services that contribute to our economy, society and ecology.
