6. Our garden has been pollinated almost exclusively by wasps
for the past several years. We coexist with them with only one or two stinging incidents per year. Only last year did we notice a big increase in honeybees after being almost completely absent. I'm sure this was an anomaly due to some local phenomenon, and they may disappear this spring again. The wasps cannot replace bees in widespread agriculture, however.
