My experience with wasps are different. They'll fucking attack you it you're anywhere near their food.
These are the wasps that I know and destroy.

What is it with European bakeries and bees? I've seen memes and stuff about it, and this one youtuber, a Vietnamese woman who's German BF never shows his face, I can't remember her name right now. She showed a bakery in Germany with bees everywhere. Why is this a thing?
Compared to (my impression of) north America I think there are some contributing factors:
- Less sprawl: Bakeries are usually in a town/neighborhood (which has more nature compared to the US, therefore also more insects) and not surrounded by a huge parking lot where no wasps would live. There are also many neigbouhring properties with different owners/occupants. So their nest might nor be on your property or even somewhere where you'd be able to locate it.
- (more) indipendent shops: I see waaaay less wasps in the baked good section in supermarkets here as well. Bakeries are usually not huge so it is just a short distance for the wasps to fly in a confinded space. Bakeries are also not usually airconditioned which would probably irritate wasps.
- conservation laws: Wasps are considerd a protected species in Germany and catching, harming or killing them without a proper reason can carry a fine of up to 5-65k€ depending on the kind of wasp and the state. In general wasp nests can only be moved by professional and licenced exterminators (and they only do it when necessary, like the nest being near a kindergarten or in an occupied builduing).

Serious question, are the wasps as likely to get diarrhea eating that as I think they are, and will the hive reject them at the entrance if they're doing the insect equivalent of shitting their pants the way hives do with drunks?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Africanised bees will be like that, but we don't really have them in europe as far as I know.
Wasps usually only get really stingy if you disturb their nest or come way too close to it.
You'll find wasps in almost any bakery in summer. Also in and around garbage cans.
You grab the pastry and they will usually fly away and settle onto the next one a bit later.

Ya know, I have to hang my head with a lot of the "Really, America?" shit. Yes, my home is a bit weird.
But it's not like we got aaaaaaall the weird.
It is fukin bizzare to let insects crawl on your food and then desire or use said food in any way other than feeding pigs.wrote on last edited by [email protected]Don't watch videos of raw food material transportation like grain or sugar.
A bit of shit on our food gives us some needed trace elements.

Most of those things get baked out because of the high temperatures.
These ones after baking, not so much.

Cooking is good. I wash my vegetables. And my meat for that matter, although that's strangely not recommended.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I prefer desease free wasp food over pigeon and rat shit in my cooked food.
I guess in the end I eat both. I try to buy locally whenever possible, but I guess sugar is hard to source locally.

Yes. A measured response.
Measured in kilotons

I'm pretty sure [spicy chemical I can't spell] is toxic to insects. I'd double check but I can't spell it at the moment

Capsaicin?
I think "spicy" is referring to the wasps.

If white people can't handle heat then explain this spicy polish pastry
the easy explanation is that Polish people aren't counted as white by white people

Them and the Irish can wish all they want, but they will never be white!

I'll never understand why people call wasps "bees". They are extremely different. It's like calling deer "horses". Why is this a thing?
Because I just glanced at the picture while hiding my phone from customers and thought they were bees

I think Europe and surrounding countries do a lot of shit right, but some things like protecting wasps and making melatonin prescription genuinely baffle me. What the fuck

Fuck, I entered a bakery in Vienna once that was flooded with wasps everywhere. I asked about it and the person just went

My kids screamed his head off two days ago. There's ants in the house. I'm like yeah whatever. I go to check it out. There were thousands of ants in the house. They came in through a little spot near the garage went all the way down one wall along another wall straight through the kitchen under the fridge to a single crunchy snack thing that fell onto the floor.
I'm not too worried about this fly or two or an and or two and I leave spiders alone If they've picked a nice quiet corner. But I can't have thousands of ants in my kitchen.
