Are wasps important?

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.


Do wasps pollenate?

When bees pollinate flowers when they visit a flower, pollen from that flower sticks to the bee. The bee flies to another flower of the same type and pollen that was stuck to the bee gets brushed onto the pistil of the flower. The flower is now pollinated and will begin to develop seeds and fruit.
