Wasps are considered important pollinators, according to the US Forest Service (http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/pollinators/animals/wasps.shtml). Though wasps are not fuzzy like bees, pollen doesn't stick to them, therefore, they don't pollinate as well as bees, but they are still considered important pollinators, most especially the fig wasps. Wasps are important because they are predatory to Spiders, tomato hornworm & other garden pests thus they provide natural pest control. Without pollinators humanity would be in serious danger due to global famine.

Why are parasitic wasps important?
Wasps are really a gardener's friend because they kill a lot of garden pests to feed to their larvae. The wasp then feeds on a sugary substance produced by the larvae.

They have to find an alternative and this is when they start feeding on the sugars in over-ripe fruit. This is the time when wasp and man come into closest contact and people see wasps as a nuisance.
