    Wasps and hornets aren’t bees.

    Bees in danger of extinction are mostly certain bumble bees.

      Fair enough. A lot of people still refer to wasps / hornets as “bees” but this is not scientifically correct. Carpenter bees can go to hell. Nothing against the bumble, but if I’m going to get behind saving something that can sting me or kids and potentially induce lethal allergic reactions, it’s going to be the one that at least makes a decent cereal topping.
