Wasps, the underappreciated insect

[Catherine]

Wasps are both smarter and more useful than most people realize. They have been studying wasps and they can learn and remember.

I knew they were smart. I have watched them in my garden and I think they have watched me. I get along with my garden wasps. If they hang around when I am eating outside, I give them some of my food and they eat and leave me in peace. They do like the sweet stuff.

People who frantically try to chase wasps away are missing the point. Give them a treat and they will leave. Swatting at them has the opposite results.
