We value our wasp and bee friends. We purposely leave a wild border (AKA "weeds") around our vegetable garden to attract parasitic and predatory wasps. With these guys around, we don't have to spray for things like bean and potato beetles, cutworms, etc. With the lower population of honeybees, I have placed bumblebee nests around the periphery of the property. We get good pollination now. Don't want to hand pollinate everything. All those critters have stingers; I just don't piss 'em off.
