You can't expect me to believe there is a race of creatures living in well-ordered homes who spend all day making candy while their evil counterpart hides out in menacing fortresses that augur only destruction

Jokes aside, that isn't really the case. Most folks think of the European honeybee when they think of bees, when there are actually many other species of bees native to different parts throughout the world that humans don't farm for honey. Native bee populations are REALLY important to the environment, and so are native wasp populations. Wasps play an important role in the environment because they also pollinate native plants. Don't hate on wasps, they're really important!

They also murder other insects.

My brother genocided his yellow jacket population because they were murdering his bees (small hobby farm).

A few months later, there was a massive spider and other bug bloom. Like out of a horror film. Everywhere.

They're an important part of the ecosystem. But they're also assholes.
