The most important wasps in your yard are the ones you've never once looked at.
This is the MayBEE It's a Wasp finale — and it's about the tiny, invisible, faintly horrifying insects quietly keeping the whole thing from being eaten alive. They’re called parasitoid wasps. They are the reason your tomato plants still have leaves. And once you can see them, your yard stops being scenery and turns into the strangest documentary you’ve ever watched, playing on a loop, three feet from your back door.
A field guide to the bees and wasps actually supposed to be in your yard — and why the one everyone talks about isn't one of them.
I've been stung four times in my life — and my nervous system quietly declared war on roughly 20,000 bee species and up to 100,000 wasp species because of exactly three of them. This month we're sorting it all out: who's actually out there, what they're doing in your yard, and how to stop accidentally killing the ones running pest control and pollination services for free.
